INCREDIBLE!!! THIS IS THE SAME TORNADO THAT HIT OKC or it is out of the same supercell. The hook is still visible in the same area of the cell too!!!

I believe so, David. It has moved generally out of the Oklahoma City vinicity.

Call this the storm that wont quit!!!

If it's been on the ground the whole time, that's over 100 miles!

That's true, Donna. This tornado has tracked about 95 miles in the last 3 3/4 (9:45pm CT/10:45 ET to 1:30am CT/2:30am ET), just north of Oklahoma City to Tulsa.

Truly Amazing :o

The tornado that headed toward Tulsa actually travelled close to 85 miles from the north side of Oklahoma City to approximately 20 miles west of Stonebluff, Oklahoma at 1:20am CT/2:20am ET -- which is 15 to 20 miles southwest of Tulsa.

According to The Weather Channel it remained on the ground, I assume it is possible but, of course we have no confirmation, as of this early morning.

We can always trust Coldfront with a precise calculation. Thanks bud!

Thankfully the storm dissapated before moving into far SW MO/ NW AR.
