The Weather God of Oklahoma City You know a storm is going to be bad, people in Oklahoma will tell you, when Gary England removes his jacket.

NWS Norman has upgraded the El Reno tornado to an EF-5. Furthermore, the maximum diameter of the tornado was 2.6 miles across, which is the largest tornado ever recorded! Lastly, thanks to the mobile radar data on the DOW's, we now know that the maximum measured wind speeds were 296 mph!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Samaras and Young families.
