That's nuts. I remember Skip's El Reno video talking about that and I was just awestruck. Already a bad situation made worse by traffic and panic

That is a great account of the events. Brings back a lot of memories.

I should note there was also a massive convoy of vehicles heading north to see the storm.

It's the last time I'll chase in that area without some very strategic planning on routes and timing. The genie is out of the bottle now, and I believe people will flee tornadic storms near OKC on a regular basis.

What a crazy day that was. We opted intentionally to chase a secondary target in SW OK due to concerns over what might happen near OKC. We came north to a bit past chickasha very late in the game to watch the now outflow driven storms. We ended up taking highway 44 back to Norman almost completely alone on the north bound side while watching gridlock on the south. Found out later of course just how crazy everything had been.
