We are tracking a monster HP supercell thunderstorm in northern Oklahoma this afternoon. It is approaching Perry, OK at this hour.
It has produced as many as eight tornadoes. One of them hit a hog farm in Lacey in Kingfisher County about 3:15 p.m. Newschannel 9’s helicopter captured some incredible video. Apparently workers saw the tornado about two minutes from the time they spotted it until it hit and they had time to take cover.
Fortunately, no one was injured and reports are that not even many of the 8,000 head of swine were killed.
If you have ever used the statement “when pigs fly,” you might be in trouble today.
Here is a four panel representation of the radar.

It is over sparsely inhabited territory, but will approach I-35 in an hour.
