October 4th, 1998
The
tornado had just touched down to the southwest of Watonga, OK about
5:40 pm. It was about 10 miles to the west of us.
The
tornado has just crossed Highway 33 east of Watonga. Now it is only
about 5 miles to the west of us moving to the northeast.
The
tornado is beginning to weaken. The sun illuminates the base of the
tornado as the cloud begins to outrace the base of the tornado. The
tornado is now about 1 1/2 miles to our northwest. It picks up red
dirt as it crosses a freshly plowed field.
The
tornado ropes out. As it crossed the road to our north, about 1/2
mile from our location, it tore a piece of asphalt off the road. The
same storm went on northeast and produced another tornado by Dover
before weakening.
