June 13, 2010 Oklahoma Panhandle Tornadoes
Last Updated on Monday, 15 November 2010 16:21 Written by Roger Hill
June 13th was the first day of our historic Tour 6 (31 tornadoes total on this tour!). We were a bit late to see the first tornado from this HP supercell southwest of Slapout, OK. By the time we arrived, it was cycling, with several occlusions occuring before it finally cycled and produced a fairly stout, low contrast, partially rain wrapped tornado. A second small and brief tornado occured after the first one wrapped completely in rain. Fun day, even though we were a bit too late for the most photogenic tornado of the day.
Fairly substantial tornado here north of Slapout, OK. You can make out the tapered cone as it wrapped in rain. Looking west/southwest in the notch.
Mostly rain wrapped, the tornado can still be seen. It was on the ground for about 10 minutes.
Wider shot of the rain wrapped tornado, still in firm contact with the ground.
Very brief 2 minute tornado to the right (north) of the first.
