6:03 p.m., May 31, 2013 — El Reno, Oklahoma. Dozens of chasers converge, unaware they’re about to meet the widest tornado ever observed (2.6 miles). In forty minutes, the storm rewrites every rule: abrupt path shifts, sub-vortices with 300+ mph winds, and a damaging wind field far larger than the visible funnel. It becomes the deadliest day in storm-research history, claiming Tim & Paul Samaras and Carl Young (TWISTEX) and exposing the fatal danger of vehicle evacuations.
This cinematic doc dives into the setup (CAPE 5000 J/kg, extreme SRH, PDS watch), the chaotic chase, the tragedy, and the breakthroughs that followed—like ground-up tornadogenesis (Dr. Jana Houser) and why the EF3 rating masked EF5-class winds. We also unpack how OKC dodged a mass-casualty catastrophe, the cultural reset in storm chasing, and the memorial that still draws pilgrims each spring.
