May 17, 2019 • Southwest Kansas Tornadoes (David Reimer)

Texas Storm Chasers's David Reimer headed out to the Oklahoma Panhandle on a conditional risk for significant severe weather. A strong cap was expected to prevent thunderstorm development, but if a storm did get going, it would likely be a tornado-producing machine. Such a storm did indeed develop around 7 PM near Beaver, Oklahoma. Within 30 minutes of developing that storm was producing its first tornado. It would go on to produce multiple long-lived tornadoes over the coming hours and late into the night.
