March 18, 2012 SW Oklahoma Tornadoes

Classic dryline setup near the TX/OK border. While we originally targeted the area in the eastern panhandle, storms only fired further south. We raced after a cluster of storms coming into far SW Oklahoma. We witnessed 4 separate tornadoes that day. Including one large rain wrapped tornado with a satellite tornado near Mangum. Probably the best chase day I had in 2012.
