I too was there during the wee minutes after the storms, I was already working at the sheriffs office, dropped my car off at home, and chased the storm all the way there, and administered aid, and search, and rescue efforts to survivors of the storm. That tornado was the worst as far as damage to hard bodied buildings like the hospital, I’ve ever seen. The other one I chased at night being an EF-4 was at Altus, Denning, and Etna. It was total devastation in the pitch black darkness. Could smell gas lines that had bursted, had to walk over fallen power lines to search for victims who’s houses were flipped over on their foundations, and rolled through the field. I had multiple flashlights as it was so dark out there due to no power you could barely see 5 foot in front of you. Here’s a model of the monster EF-4, that originally had came over over our Sheriff’s station, I watched the circulation go over along with large amounts of hail, and then it tracked along the Sebastian county line into Franklin County. I got special permission from the then sheriff to take my patrol car to go chase it to the area it dropped down. Here’s a image of it, along with a link to read about it.
