On Thursday night at least six tornadoes whipped through Oklahoma, producing multiple reports of damage and chaotic scenes captured on video. Footage posted by storm chasers and residents shows funnels spinning across the plains — including multiple, simultaneous tornadoes and satellite tornadoes rotating near a larger cone.
Storm chasers described what they saw in real time: “There’s two tornadoes,” one said. “The main cone is here… it’s tearing up — I just ran over the power line.” Another observed a satellite tornado forming near the parent circulation: “Look at that. It’s a satellite tornado.” Video from wind‑farm areas shows a large tornado on the ground moving through turbines as observers reported power lines down.
Some clips include chaser radio traffic discussing TV cut‑ins and movement toward nearby towns, while other clips have no audio. Local emergency and utility crews were reported responding to outages and debris; the full extent of injuries and damage was still being assessed late Thursday night. Authorities urged people in threatened counties to follow tornado warnings and local emergency instructions, seek shelter in interior rooms or basements, and avoid downed power lines.
The National Weather Service and local officials typically survey affected areas after the storms to determine tornado intensity and impacts. Residents with damage are asked to report it to local emergency management and to stay updated through official channels as crews work to restore services and clear roadways.
