Location: Pittsburg County, OK - SW 1/4 Section15 T5NR12E

Saturday evening, May 10, I was hanging out with my dog on my land in west-central Pittsburg County; three miles east of the Hughes County line and three miles south of Highway 270. I realized the tornado was forming on our land because I heard the low rumble that people describe. We took cover intially, but then once I realized it was headed east toward Haywood and McAlester I reported it to the authorities and captured this on my digital video camera as it was moving away. It was quite an experience!
