Sounds like you're talking about gravity waves.

How about some other 6,000-7,000+ cases (some may have already been posted, I'll go check): 7/31/99, GRB: 7/13/95, MPX: 7/17/06, MPX: 8/3/06, BNA:

I saw this mentioned earlier but I'm surprised it wasn't posted, unless I missed it. Closest proximity sounding to Jarrell on 5/27/97 was Temple: And although it isn't quite as massively unstable as some of the others, 6/8/53 southeast of Flint:

Thank you JoMo, there were conflicting reports about some of those things so I wasn't sure what was accurate. I'll fix that stuff up today when I go back to proofread. And after staring at a map of Joplin for a few hours trying to place aerial shots you'd think I would've realized where 7th & Black Cat Road was.

Hey guys. I just got done writing a blog post on the Joplin tornado, and I'd love to get some feedback on it. Between family issues and researching it ended up taking a long time, so by the end I really didn't even take the time to proofread it. I'm sure I made some mistakes. If anyone reads it and you notice anything I messed up, please don't hesitate to let me know. http://stormstalker.wordpress.com/2013/02/13/joplin/ I tracked down some of the things people haven't really covered much -- photos of the concrete parking stops, scoured parking lots, grass scouring, etc. -- so hopefully there's some new stuff for you guys. Thanks. Edit: I just noticed I made a mistake with the Commerce Bank. I said it was "swept away," but the photos I used were from several days after when the cleanup had already begun in earnest. I'll fix that next time I update the article. It was completely destroyed, but most of it wasn't swept away.
