A damaging (EF4) tornado moved about a mile north of our house in east Norman. This tornado caused substantial damage along hwy 9 in SE Norman and Little Axe, and passed close to or slightly damaged the homes of several friends/coworkers.

We took a few minutes to reposition for a better view away from the thicker trees, settling on the south side of the Lake Thunderbird dam. At this time, the strong tornado is moving off the lake, with a large spray plume impacting the NE part of the dam.
