There is simply an incredible number of tornado reports coming in this evening from Kansas and Oklahoma. Of several supercells currently in eastern Kansas, practically all have confirmed tornadoes on the ground, including one large, possible long-track tornado approaching Lawrence, KS at the moment. It looks like the Kansas City Metro area will be impacted within the next hour or so by that particular storm.

In Moore/OKC, the damage is nothing like May 3, 1999, but there are some buildings and home that have been flattened. The damage to the GM Plant in Midwest City appears extensive. Unfortunately, the tornado occurred at the height of rush hour, tracking very close to and crossing I-35, I-240, and I-40. No doubt, several people were likely injured in their automobiles.

Storms are finally trying to fire along the dryline in western North Texas, but the continued loss of daytime heating and the stout cap might prove to be too much for them. The towers look decent on satellite, however, so the situation bears close watching.

I'm not too bent out of shape for not having chased today. Sometimes you miss out on big events. It's been just about as interesting to watch from home.
