This is what the tornado warning storm looked like as it approached Barnsdall, Oklahoma last night (looking southwest and west). The bright lights are from an oil refinery on the south side of town. Most of the heaviest damage I found was in the eastern half of town, closer to this center. pic.twitter.com/C2lA6vI9ym
