Binger OK, 22 May 1981, looking SW. "Wedge" tornado nearly a mile wide. This violent tornado produced up to F4 damage, flattened cars before wrapping them around denuded trees, and flung cattle and vehicles for hundreds of yards. The same supercell had earlier spawned the Alfalfa tornado above. Doppler radar scans of this storm were intensively studied in the 1980s.
