So, so bad.

Appears to have been on the ground 6 minutes prior to a warning being issued, with a clear cut CC sig. Took until nearly 10 minutes later for a confirmed tag.

That’s as bad as it gets.

i know sometimes the radarscope/radar programs don't update in a timely manner, but not this time... the tornado was first shown on KXAN at 5:57pm CDT and the warning bulletin was issued at 5:59pm CDT. yikes.

insane live footage of tornado ongoing near round rock, TX

just showed a live tornado cross i-35. it is out of frame but it was close enough to see the funnel and lots of debris

for anyone looking for coverage as this moves into Austin, TX:

down here in cincinnati, we are in a weird middle ground of getting ~0.25" of ice and then potentially 4"+ of snow by the end of this event. 

Current running total of deaths, with links to verification:

Western Tennessee - 3

Edwardsville, Illinois - 2

Bowling Green, Kentucky - "multiple", but no number given

Mayfield, Kentucky - between 50 and 70

Bremen, Kentucky - 11

Dawson Springs, Kentucky - no number given, but deaths reported

Monette, Arkansas - 5

Defiance, Missouri - 1

 

unbelievable. terrifying and now i understand why at least 50 are feared dead.

this thing still, and i literally mean still as of 1:20am EDT, has a debris ball on it. just a beast of a storm.

the nati gets in on the action

Seems as though KPAH may be offline. Not ideal. 

was just wondering this myself. wow.


this storm would be impressive in april or may. the fact that it has occurred in december is surreal. it has maintained that classic supercell look for about thirty mins now.

nws in stl has taken shelter

two strong tornadoes ongoing right now

who is awake

surprisingly quiet in here for something that, at its surface, looks like a noteworthy day/evening ahead. thoughts on the setup?

small tds over virgil

starting to see storms fire southwest of these in central indiana. they’re heading my way and will have a lot of humid air & sunlight to work with when they get here.

possible big tornado about to crossover indiana into ohio

some spin ups still ongoing at this hour

interesting

the tds on reflectivity was huge. they don’t usually get that big on reflectivity. scary situation unfolding.
