The original DOW turned out to be one of the most impressive pieces of tornado data coletion equipment in history, being that it was the one that clocked the record breaking wind speeds here...

the reading was taken just outside of Bridge Creek... there is footage of this. If you see the video as it is a very defined stovepipe with the sattelite tornado orbiting it, that is when the reading was taken.. the reading was about 100' off Above ground level. Nobody is certain of the actual GL windspeed, but figure 275-300mph... INSANELY strong tornado... this one was one in a million.

I remember this one as well. Living in Tulsa...we were kind of worried yet it never affected us. I remember how it destroyed the mall between Tulsa and OKC.

Damn I remember when this came through... One of the scariest nights I've ever experienced with our Tornadoes.

I was within a mile of this tornado and it was really scary. The house was in direct path, but thankfully it shifted. Lucky, it did not hit us, because we choose a closet, which we never thought of it being totally unsafe (wide and narrow). Mom sat on the bed and said for my brother and I, along with bunnies and a hamster to be in the closet. This was the day after Mom and I shopped at Lowes for flowers. We even stopped to get something to eat to bring home before realizing the true danger.

This tonado had 318mph winds! I'm sorry about about all you who lost your homes in this, that must be so scary.
