Birth of the El Reno, OK, tornado --- May 31, 2013

Our Tempest Tours storm chase tour group stopped three miles west of El Reno Airport around 5:50 p.m. CDT on May 31, 2013. This put us several miles east-southeast of the tornado-warned supercell. By 6 p.m., the storm was spawning a new tornado cyclone less than two miles to our north-northwest. A quickly developing multi-vortex tornado moved to the southeast and forced us to abandon our viewing location. Video copyright 2013 William T.

It grew to about 2.5 miles in diameter and killed 8 people, including our chase buddies Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras and Carl Young. The initial rating was EF3, then it was upgraded to EF5, and then back down to EF3. Structural damage indicated EF3 strength winds, but mobile radar data showed EF5 winds with some of the fast-moving sub-vorticies. The tornado tracked over farmland by and large.
