May 13<\/strong> was a good day in western OK.  This was the day of the Kirkwood, MO,\r\ntornado, but that was much too far away to target unless we had blown off the\r\nprior day.  We waited around on a dirt road near Enid (actually, near Helena, OK)\r\nand saw some storm towers go up to the southwest.  A supercell quickly formed\r\nand started to drop almost due south.  The cell had nice structure and a sharp\r\nRFD cut, but was high-based at first.  Towards sunset, near Geary, the cell's\r\nbase lowered and it wrapped up strongly.  We were just south of the storm base\r\non a hill south of Geary, with a great view!  It was unable to produce a\r\ntornado, though.  We just missed the storm core as we dashed west and south to\r\nBinger, where we had one last look at the overall structure to the north before\r\ndark.  I elected to find some cover for the vehicles in front of the precip core\r\nat Carnegie, about ten miles farther west.  We had some one inch to maybe\r\n1.25-inch hail for a good ten minutes.  Farther east, the storm had suddenly\r\ngone tornadic, and two of my chase friends wound up riding out the tornado in a\r\ncar wash in Gracemont, OK!  They are okay, and the tornado went on to produce a\r\nlot of damage in Anadarko.\r\n\r\n\"090513_w_ok_7491a\"<\/a>\"090513_w_ok_7498\"<\/a>\"090513_w_ok_7500\"<\/a>\"090513_watonga_ok_7503\"<\/a><\/pre>\n
