I think 5 tornadoes, two hail cores (as large as 4"!), and several "almost touchdowns" = a very successful chasing day!Cory Mottice
Here is a picture of the 4 inch hail that fell in north Woodward, OK!! Biggest I have ever seen by far! http://twitpic.com/9800q0Cory Mottice
Insane meso-cyclone! At this point there was a large wedge #tornado on the ground. Can't see from this viewpoint. http://twitpic.com/97zzekCory Mottice
@Tarv @coreburn lol the entire meso was spinning rapidly and tornadoes and RFD/FFD spin-ups were going on everywhere!Cory Mottice
Targeting Woodward, OK this afternoon. Cells should remain semi-discreet for at least 2 hrs. Isolated tornadoes poss. along with huge hail!Cory Mottice
The SPC has issued a moderate risk for #severe weather today with the biggest threat being extremely large #hail to the size of softballs.Cory Mottice
