Arnett, Oklahoma Tornadoes: May 18, 2025

Описание: On May 18, 2025 a Moderate Risk for severe storms was in effect across a large portion of the western Great Plains into north Texas. An outbreak of strong tornadoes occurred from northeast Colorado into western and central Kansas, with more isolated tornadic storms initiating off a stout dryline farther south in the Texas Panhandle and north TX. One such isolated storm formed near Miami, TX, and moved NE into west-central OK, and produced several highly visible and photogenic tornadoes, the most notable of which occurred near the town of Arnett. Thankfully this strong tornado lost strength as it began to dissipate just before entering town, and damage was not nearly as serious as it could have been. This supercell storm also produced monstrous hail, with chasers finding some stones measuring 5" or more!

Echo and Hailey Farrar are Australian Shepherds, brother and sister from different litters, and are now seasoned storm chasers, with more sightings than they can count on one paw. Echo is particularly fond expressing his enthusiasm with barks. He is also a big-rig enthusiast.
