It’s fantastic but I do love four distinct seasons. I love variation.

One of the tornadoes hit the London/Corbin Airport and destroyed the medivac helicopter. I read that this is being considered a mass casualty event in Somerset.

YOU SHUT UP! Well, excuse me if I ever posted on this forum in the first place! I DIDN'T COME HERE TO BE INSULTED! Hope you get banned for this kind of comment, you troll. This is not the place for these type of insults.

Power has been out for over 6 hours

Unbelievable now another tornado in London. Back to back. Sadly this is most likely an historic event unfolding in the SE KY area. More than likely 2-EF4 tornadoes back to back. Truly sad.

There's another tornado warning just west of Somerset, moving its way at 70mph.

Good, now are you going to stop crying like a little bitch? Everyone's tired of your nonsense, so shut the fuck up.

Headed towards London Kentucky pop. 8000 it looks like the town is built mostly to the south of the city center with major business and the airport.

That cell is trucking 70mph

Mr. J texted me that sirens were going off in Bowling Green KY. Him and his dad went into the bathroom in their hotel. There was a confirmed tornado on the ground to their SW and it continued to stay to the south. They are all safe now.

Tornado on the ground just blew through Somerset and is going to pass about a county north of me. It is a confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado per the warning. It's in @Kentucky backyard. Hope he's okay.

Maximum rotation in St. Louis was west and north of downtown

I believe this video is from Stowe that weekend:

65.3 v 64.6 remarkable. We currently have roughly the same monthly average temperatures as middle Tennessee. Paducah will be in the 80s and Minneapolis the 60s next week though. High of 53 today with scattered wind driven light rain. Drove to Des Moines this afternoon. Wicked 40mph crosswind the whole drive.

Somerset KY tornado.

Seems like this might have been a tri-state tornado warned supercell at times (not quite the same three states as the famous Tri-State Tornado of 1925) ongoing tornado!

Just as crazy, if not crazier is that Minneapolis has been warmer than Paducah this month. No idea what is happening to our climate, but it isn't good, that's for sure.

A while ago Northern NH had a decent amount of snow Memorial Day weekend: https://www.wmur.com/article/memorial-day-weekend-snowfall-in-nh/5133050 and https://weather.com/storms/winter/news/snow-winter-memorial-day-weekend-maine
