I quickly realized this would not be possible as traffic was at a stand still. I headed up I-35 to SH-9 east in hopes to get east of Norman and stay ahead of the storm. Visually, the storm never looked super great, even from the Riverwind Casino parking lot about 10 minutes prior to producing a tornado a mile north. We followed it east as it seemingly turned right and started showing a decent hook echo on radar. The hail was intimidating, so we stayed our distance back. It looked mostly outflow dominant when we got on it, and didn’t have its act together at all. We headed west on State Highway 9 and intercepted the storm originally near Amber. Turns out we should have just sat there for 2 hours and we would have witnessed a large tornado going through Norman. Started this day by leaving work around 1:30ish and meeting up with Cory Watkins around 2 at my apartment.
