26 years ago today, the May 3, 1999 #tornado outbreak happened, including the strongest tornado in History - the Bridge Creek to Moore to OKC F5. I was a freshman meteorology student at the University of Oklahoma, and we had just finished our calculus exam when we piled in the soft top Geo Tracker, driven by Matt Sannes. We blasted down I44 to target the dry line down near Altus, but ran into a lead renegade supercell that formed off a horizontal convective roll near Lawton. The storm looked lik

World Record!! FASTEST Moving Tornado EVER!! 🌪😬 Raw video of the tornado that set a world record for the fastest moving tornado at 94.5 mph, aka 152 km/h for my Canadian friends.

This video here was part of our chase tracking down the twin tornadoes captured on the terrifying day of Pilger, Nebraska in 2014. #TornadoWatch #tornadoes #tornado #Supercell #StormChasing | Ricky Forbes

25 years ago, today, on May 3, 1999, arguably the strongest #tornado in History tore through communities like Bridge Creek, Moore, and south OKC. Here was our chase of this infamous #tornado as 18 year old freshman at OU. Still to this day, this is the most powerful and structurally textbook tornadic supercell I have ever chased.
