6 May 2015 central OK tornadoes

Bryan Smith and I chased while working midnight shifts, so we had a vested interest in targeting the closer storms. Storm initiation was a concern, but the conditional tornado risk was substantial. Once convection began to develop near Lawton by early afternoon, the chase was on! We ended up observing 4-5 distinct tornadoes from the first supercell from Bridge Creek to Norman. We then doubled back to observe two more supercells from Tuttle to the Norman/Moore area.

Supercell updraft near Chickasha, OK. The storm apparently produced a few tornadoes just before we arrived, since we had to sleep a few hours between midnight shifts!
