5-24-11 Oklahoma Tornadoes

Michael Seger and Richard Cox on a chase in western and Central Oklahoma. We first picked up a wedge tornado coming out of Binger. We moved to the east to get out of its way and eventually caught a second tornado, a cone, which appeared to be east and south of the wedge. The same supercell later hit El Reno, Piedmont, and Guthrie. This was a personal chase for me as the tornado was on a direct course for my parents' house, and I was on the phone with them instructing them to take cover. The tornado missed their home by a half a mile but unfortunately others in their neighborhood were not so lucky. We couldn't reach the storms farther south, though we did encounter damage on I-35 between Norman and OKC. The last storm we followed tracked from Okemah to Haskell. We were never able to catch it, but we did encounter debris along that path, along with several closed roads.

Kim Harlow was a very responsible person, very friendly, out going, very trusting.

I'm not sure if she told me it was CH 34 or CH 4 or CH 25 that had the coverage documented completely. I would certainly investigate that avenue along with the insurance company, Foremost/Farmers, that did everything but kill us to keep from paying our claim in full. God bless Kim's soul.

Kim Harlow had called me and informed me that a storm chaser had the copy of the May 10 2010 tornado pictures of the tornado going directly over our home. She may have been riding along with one to see what goes on. She was after the evidence for our case when Foremost refused to cover all the damages to our home and property caused by the May 10 2010 tornado.

If she had gotten injured, killed, he may have split and been afraid to get involved thinking he would get prison time for running.
