Yippie — another moderate risk, and another 10-percent hatched tornado area outlined by SPC! But, this was in eastern Oklahoma, and we were in Hastings, Nebraska. There was little other choice or alternative — we had to get ourselves south! The good news was that the 31st was looking like an Oklahoma day, too, and the guests would be delivered back to Oklahoma City on June 1. Mother Nature was on our side, logistically.
Somehow we made it from Hastings to south-central Oklahoma quickly enough to get ourselves in front of a developing supercell near Elmore City, in Love County. (That drive was close to 500 miles.) The storm was a beast and had impressive structure. But, its HP nature resulted in a cloaked action area. We stayed back a bit for structure.
The supercell appeared to get outflowish, undercut and messy as it moved east. We dropped south to another supercell, and killed it, and then to another one near Rubottom. It quickly shriveled, and we headed to Ardmore for the night.
