The Tornado Trackers recall the story of Jeremy’s first tornado that occurred during what would become one of the team’s most intense storm chases ever. The May 9, 2016 Wynnewood, OK EF4 tornado crossed the road directly in front of them, leaving the team struggling to make sense of the extreme display of power.
