This was about the maximum size that the tornado attained. Motion was pretty good, though nothing incredibly impressive. We were thinking that an east-northeast motion of of the tornado would allow it to pass just north of us. However, the tornado wasn't moving as quickly as I was expecting, so I doubt it got any closer than 4-5 miles from this position. I was also getting very worried that the tornado was going to directly impact the populated areas of El Reno.
