Tornado Warned Supercell SW Oklahoma near DevolAdded:
Okay. Well, now it's working.
>> Yeah.
What in the world?
Plug it in very well.
No, I did.
>> It's working right now.
>> Yeah, because uh I'm using the mic on the camera.
>> Interesting.
Okay. Well, guess I'm just going to use uh the mic on the camera. You guys couldn't hear me when I was talking. Got some good structure. We do have a tornado warning, but we'll have to see how this turns out.
This is There's so many tabs.
Hey, Frosty.
Yeah, I'm trying to get this uh audio fixed. I don't know what's going on.
I've just decided not to use the regular mic.
>> Reminds me of the hydrophone from last year.
Maybe way too many tabs open.
Who did that?
Oh yeah. Well, they can have their hail thug.
I'll take this storm right here.
>> This is This is tiny.
>> Yeah, it's gotten really small.
Can we get inside these be nice to not build the sun?
This is a beautiful storm though.
>> Yeah. Well, it needs to produce a tornado.
>> It It's way too dry in the even levels.
>> Look how flat that base is.
>> Yeah. Well, it looks good for a minute.
I mean, if it can survive.
Just see how small this is.
There's a lot of storms forming behind it on the cold front. This is only the cold front. I don't know what boundary this forms on, but It's got good stretcher.
Man, I can't see diddly squat with that sun blinding me.
Look at the pancakes.
>> Yeah, I see it.
>> Hold on. What are you doing? I kind of see what it looks like. Okay. Wow, that looks awesome.
>> Yeah. Could you tilt it up a little bit to see more of it?
>> Hey, Biana. Good to see you people coming in here. I'm going to tilt this up a little so you guys get a little bit better.
>> Yeah, that's a view right there.
>> What does it look like here?
>> Yeah, though. That's good.
>> We still got the ground, the horizon.
Be cool to get a time lapse here. I don't have a memory card in there with the phone maybe.
What in the world is that?
Looks weird.
I'm not sure why they should never get anything with no wool ring. velocities are still there.
More good development.
>> Yeah. Ooch trying another hook.
>> This thing is wild looking.
>> I mean, look at that light. It It's still still bubbling up. If you look straight up, you can watch the stuff bubbling up there.
>> I mean, look at satellite.
>> Satellite.
>> Man, sun is killing my eyes, though.
Oh gosh, we got quite a few chats in here. Hold on, let me Oh, I'm okay. Holy Anvil Batman, what's the current location, please? We're on County Road North, 2450 near Cotton County, Oklahoma. We're near Deval, Oklahoma.
You can see the um old mezzo. Look, look back in there.
There's like a scutty long ring back there.
>> Oh, yeah. I see it back there.
>> It It's lit up by the sun, so it's not dark.
Put that back up there for folks.
You can really see this thing is very laminer structure. Yeah, it almost looks like an Eastern New Mexico supercell.
>> The one the one that we saw.
>> Yeah, >> forgot what day it was, but like I sure What is that?
>> Oh man, nothing yet.
have a good spot.
>> If anything happens, we'll see it.
If it if it starts to look more interesting, I want to get real close, though.
>> I want to be I want to be right next to any tornado if that happens.
Yeah, they're they won't be still moving.
>> This storm's barely moving.
>> Yeah. Yeah, it's not really moving at all, but you can see.
>> My god. Look straight up.
>> Yeah, I know. I looked up earlier.
>> Yeah, that's pretty wicked.
Oh, we got 11 people. Cool. We're just going to keep watching this. Uh, it had a tornado warning. I don't know if it still does.
It's getting closer to us, though.
They're trying to keep the tornado warning on it.
This is wicked.
I'll poke it with a stick.
>> See how flat that base is?
>> Yeah.
>> No, I didn't see how flat the base was.
>> It's flat as pancake.
>> Yeah, it looked Look at this. Huge wall cloud. Look right there. Huge wall cloud.
>> Yeah.
Poking it with a stick.
Do something.
Do something.
That looks wicked though. Look at that.
Got 14 people on here now.
Welcome to the noobs.
Hey. Okay.
All the little reads out here somewhere.
That's crazy.
I look at that structure is insane.
Boom.
What was that for? A random CG bolt. Do you want to back up to get a better look at the structure? Cuz like Yeah, I know.
Look, that's the view we can get if we keep backing up because this won't do anything for the next 30 minutes to an hour.
Look pretty.
Whoa, that was weird.
Yeah. I don't know if I can get that far back.
>> You knew you can U-turn.
>> I'm having fun driving backwards.
>> What are you, Tomater?
I can't believe you just said that.
I am not liking this.
>> It doesn't like you either.
>> Okay.
Was that a brick in the road? Uh, I'm not sure what that was.
>> Yeah, it's fine.
You can't say things like that. Look at Oh, that's not fair.
The cold front is erupting, though.
This is This We've barely made any progress. We're not going to be able to see anything.
>> I think it's sped up.
>> Well, it it does speed up when it dies.
Can we keep going further back? I want to see it.
Well, I can't without really make any progress without uh you know actually turning around. That's what I told you to do.
>> I know. I didn't want to.
I mean he's going We still severe warning.
We make any progress, by the way. Well, I don't think we're going to.
>> What?
>> I don't know if I can make any progress.
We have to keep going like forever.
>> Yeah, that's the point.
>> I don't want to get that far away.
>> Why?
>> I don't know.
>> Eventually, we're going to hit the highway again.
>> Exactly. That's That's my goal.
No, >> the highway's back there. So yeah, we should be in a perfect spot once we hit the highway.
Whoa. Why did it do that?
This is not ideal.
It keeps spinning around like this, bro.
Well, that's a little better.
It's not a whole lot though. Jeez.
>> Yeah, it's sped up.
>> Wow.
Oh man.
>> Oh, that thing is crazy.
This is my >> Yeah, that's pretty crazy.
Look at all that. Look at that spin.
Lot of spinning at the mid levels. I mean, it still looks healthy above us.
>> They didn't just see the whole thing rotating >> on this.
>> Yeah.
>> Someone said their target was hydro >> today.
Look, you just see that spinning up there.
>> Yeah. Look, it it's still developing like new.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, you could even watch it. It's moving fast.
That's crazy.
It's like Jurian had a time lapse that you could see it in real time.
Oh my word.
That thing is wicked.
I'll show you guys. Oh, I can't I can't get the the camera to point up there.
Okay, I'd have to take the camera off, but trying to show you guys what we were looking at outside, but I can't get the camera pointed up that way.
Oops. I don't want the peaking display on or that's what we were That's what we were looking at up there.
If you watch it long enough, you can see those updrafts moving.
>> Someone behind us.
Oh, there's someone behind us.
>> That's what you just said.
>> Yeah. I thought you said there was a storm behind us. Oh, there's someone behind us.
They drove by us.
Yeah, this thing is Oh, man. It really did speed up.
What I think happened, it was on a boundary and then it soon as it got off that boundary, it sped up and started looking like this instead of looking like it was going to be tornatic.
I think it might have been attached to a boundary whenever it was trying to >> look >> spin up a tornado.
>> Yeah.
>> Yeah. It it was it was on its own uh gust front alpha boundary, whatever.
>> And then it detached from that and that's when sped up and started to fall apart.
>> It's really good.
>> Yeah, there's still some I mean it still looks really good. Look at that beaver tail goes all the way out there.
>> Yeah. the thing that like you you could see how it was dying cuz the updraft was just shrinking at the base of the updraft.
>> Yeah. It's just too >> See how much smaller it is now?
>> It's too dry.
>> I mean, not down here.
>> Up there.
>> Yeah. Up. Yeah, up there. But not the >> It's 65 here.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Greenfield 65 D point. So we have good moisture here. The mid levels are dry which is why it looks so dupoint depression was is around mid teens like around 15 to to 20 for its entire life.
It's 13 at Walters and 12 at RA.
And yeah it's it's taking its final breaths. He's trying to do a hook at the end. Yeah, but look at the DBZ.
I know that does. It might have a chance.
>> No, it doesn't.
>> It might have a chance.
The velocities don't look good. The base is there. Look behind it though. We got the song going over exploding.
Well, there was enough instability and enough moisture. It's just it's too dry in the mid levels.
>> Yeah, if that wasn't enough instability, there wouldn't be >> a storm like this.
>> There wouldn't be a storm like this.
>> There's around what? What does it say?
2500 surface based.
>> I mean, it's still going. It's just there's so much dry. I mean, you can see the dry air. Hold on.
>> If you look over here, >> the way that that's sculpted is because of all the dry air in the mid levels.
>> See, like >> Yeah.
>> So dry.
>> So because of the dry air, it's kind of choking it off.
>> It's funny.
Either it's been this year, it's either been too dry or too moist.
>> Yeah.
Yeah. The sun's coming back out. Looks we storms along the cold front or I mean I don't know what they're going to do since this storm has erased some of that instability.
>> What?
I mean, just look up.
>> I know. I've been looking up.
>> It's It's incredible.
>> Maybe you should tilt the camera up. I already showed them.
>> Can you like zoom it out?
>> No, it's all the way zoomed out.
>> All the way zoomed out.
>> I need a because this is a crop sensor, I need a uh I need like a 12 10 or 12 mm lens in order to get a real good wide view.
It's still attached to some sort of boundary as you can see. Look at all this kind of starting to go away.
It looks cool though.
Oh my god.
Okay, I'm mesmerized.
Well, see that perfect balance of to get a structured tornado day, you need that perfect balance of dry air and not not too much dry air in middle. The reason we got this great structure is cuz it's a dry air.
Dude, that my back's killing me. Is insane.
Oh y goodness.
Ready to head home now?
>> Well, caught my >> Yeah, this ain't going to do much else.
>> Nope.
except continue to look pretty.
>> Yeah. All right. Well, folks, we should be back tomorrow.
>> Maybe.
>> Or maybe tonight. Not. Well, more likely tomorrow. We'll see. I'm waiting on my vacation. I have two weeks of vacation coming up where I'm just going to go wherever I want.
So, be prepared.
All right, we are going to head out of here. Thanks for watching.
