Our starting point today was Wichita, Kansas. \u00a0My target area was western OK, somewhere from about Woodward to Watonga, I figured. \u00a0After lunch in Enid, we made our way west and then southwest a little. \u00a0Some big storms went up to our southeast and we headed to a new and impressive supercell that was west of Watonga.<\/p>\n

This one looked great, and it was in an area with good tornado potential it seemed. \u00a0As we approached from the west on 270 towards Watonga, a left-mover\/left-split came up to it from the south and annihilated the supercell. \u00a0BLAST. \u00a0In the meantime, the “right-split” member which spawned the left-split supercell killer was dropping a very nice and photogenic tornado near I-40, at Hydro, OK, less than 30 miles to our south. \u00a0We could not see it, and by the time we got ourselves down there, it had long since dissipated. \u00a0BLAST.<\/p>\n

That is how it goes sometimes —- my forecast was pretty good, but we had a handful of storms and the storm gods weren’t playing nice for us today.<\/p>\n

The tornado threat diminished towards sunset, so we found an open spot to near Calumet to watch the nice colors of sunset and then we enjoyed a thunderstorm or two after dark near Geary and Bridgeport.<\/p>\n
