[AT] test from Gilroy, CA

[Cecil R Bearden]

Charlie:
I don't know which car was involved in their death.  A news report from 
El Reno OK ( about 20miles WSW from here) was where they were killed.  
This tornado was a gigantic meso cyclone that was from 1 to 2 miles 
across at times.  Within that diameter, it had smaller F3 tornadoes that 
spun down to the ground out of the big one one video showed 4 funnels on 
the ground at one time.  Since it was almost dark, they could not chase 
it and predict just where it would drop a funnel down.    Later that 
night, in only 8 hours, we had 5 inches of rain here to as much as 11 
inches a few miles south to southeast of where I live.  I am just 7 
miles North of the big curve in the Kilpatrick turnpike on the Northwest 
side of OKC.
