Started
out the year on April 6th, headed to Beaver, OK in the
panhandle. Just north of Gage, we decided to head south to
Arnett and then west to the Texas panhandle to meet the storms.
Saw some circulations along the front edge of the squall line as it
raced towards us at 60-70 mph. We headed east through Arnett
and then east to Vici. As we arrived at Vici, heard a tornado
warning for Vici, a tornado 7 miles to the SW of Vici moving NE at 70
mph. We pulled over snapped a couple of pictures
and took off again. Damage was reported in Vici from straight
line winds. From the pictures it looks like a rain wrapped tornado.
