This day was hyped to be a major Tornado Outbreak  . Even though the outbreak did not happen , tornado's was reported in northern and southern Oklahoma. I had planned to not chase this event due to the High Risk ( 30 % Tornado Prob. ) being so close to my home .  As the dryline moved to the I-44 area  a storm fired in the Duncan area and started moving east for Garvin county . As the storm went Tornado Warned , I checked in with Murray County E.O.C. and headed west . I stopped at Midway Hill ( between Davis and Sulphur ) and watched a area of rotation in the rain free base . After a few minutes a multi-vortex tornado formed to my northwest ( the Rubby Rd. and I-35 area ) . Soon the tornado went rain rapped and I headed west to Sunshine Rd. After about 4 mile's , I watched what looked like a Stovepipe tornado rapped in  rain to my north with a few power flashes . E.O.C. ask that we all move east , so I headed east then, northeast on the Chickasaw Turnpike . About 5 mile's past the pay booth , I watched a cone funnel to my north for a few minute's till a group of chaser's stopped . I pulled off at the Roff exit and joined a group of Roff Firemen watching a series of power flashes a few miles north of the turn pike . With the rain moving in I dropped south into town and took cover as a brief burst of 1" hail fell. As I got ready to move the In-flow stopped and I got hammered by 60 mph wind from the west that lasted a good 5 minute's.  At that time chase was over for me and I returned to Sulphur . After getting to town I stopped to talk to a fellow iMap live streamer Paul from Fla. and the Denmark Chase Team.
