I am going to see Hootie and the Blowfish Friday night at Walnut Creek so of course now there is storms on the Hi-Res for Friday night.....figures the first rain in a month will be the one night I dont want it....

Drone footage of Canton TX tornado is pretty incredible....

PGV looks to have maxed out at 99, that's a daily record and 1 off the all time May record high of 100 set back in 2011....

That was a house under construction......still some of the footage shows trees that are what you would expect from a violent higher end tornado......at least a high end EF3....

If it does not lift it will come very close to the Kansas motor speedway complex.....if its on the ground past that then this will be into heavily populated areas around KC proper.....

This type of heat is not that bad give me 95/61 any day versus 90/78......heat index is only hitting 100 in a few location in the state. Still sucks especially for May but if this is the worst the summer holds then meh......

Had a heavy shower and even a rumble or two of thunder this morning right at dawn.....was first real measurable rain in 2 weeks probably and we probably got as much in that 20 min heavy shower as we have had the previous 25 days of the month.

Jay, Ok in trouble ramping up at the wrong time..

Big nasty CC drop on that cell right over Treece/Picher.....

This makes this the 5th season in a row with a named STS or TS before June 1

Make it a 5 year streak, that has to be a record number of consecutive years with a named system before June 1......

From Frazdaddy he can give better details to the where....

The first name storm has happened in April or May in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 so we have a 4 year streak of a named storm before the official start date of the season to keep alive.

It sucks that 59 and a breeze is cold to me already......it will be 90 every day before we know it.

Tornado damage reported in Swan Quarter....question is whether it was a waterspout or true tornado....what say you?

Yeah this video is either very early or late in its cycle cause that was no EF3 in the video.....looks like RAH NWS has confirmed at least 6 tornados now in their CWA...

Now 35 tornado reports....500+ wind reports.....

When it isnt moving left or right you in trouble.....

Yeah no bust for NC, there was plenty of wind damage reports and they are still coming in, add to that a dozen or so at least tornados....I saw at least 6-7 TDS's confirmed tornados....pictures like this popping up all over the web.....this is Willow Springs NC luckily no one was in that room....

Yeah there for a couple of frames.....I work with a guy who lives there....

Wondering what that segment of the line down in SE NC is going to do as it is the one to most likely impact MBY....the couplet north of Rocky Mount looks pretty tight.
