Videos from the May 19, 2015 tornado outbreak

That was a heck of a slight risk day. A reminder that sizable tornado events can happen when tornadoes are expected, no matter what color the map is or how they’re described beforehand in forecasts.

The fourth tornado outbreak of the month — the last two weeks to be more exact — hit (where else?) Texas and Oklahoma on Tuesday. Like most of the larger events of recent, the biggest tornado zones tended to form near the edges of the original expected region. And like others this year, many tornadoes were wrapped in rain or quite “wide” thanks to low cloud bases and abundant low-level moisture.

At least 27 filtered reports of tornadoes have come in thus far. A number of storms produced multiple tornadoes. The region of focus was the Red River yet again. Those folks can’t catch a break from storms and flooding of late.

As videos trickle in with this system, we’ll update this post.

Outbreak video compilations are created when at least 25 filtered SPC reports are reached (see also: our breakdown of tornado outbreaks in 2015), and there are at least a handful or more videos of different tornadoes. The post was last updated at 8:00 a.m. CDT, and will be updated as long as new videos trickle in.
