Hard to tell because they are in a radar hole but those nqa storms in Mississippi bear watching

We now have a cc spike on the northernmost tor warning

Newest scan paints a bleak picture. If it’s not on the ground it will be soon

That’s a very violent tornado. Aside from the motion, the roar may give some credence to that was well. This video backs up the debris sigs

It’s little... but don’t think it will stay that way for long

Circulation is taking off again on the main storm. Looks to drop another

Harrisburg/cherry valley cell south of the main event about to blow up

And here’s where we were in Kearney when we got trapped by the damage path

Another before it went into linwood

Here are some interesting screenshots I took.

So, I chased this evening in Kc and much of our view was obscured by rain. I was just south of the tornado as it passed through Linwood and had us go south when hit with substantial rfd (and it didn’t help that it was rain wrapped). We shot video of the tornado as it was rain wrapped and wedged out south of Lawrence. I also was on the tornado at Kearney Missouri and once again our view was obscured by rain. We couldn’t get in front of the tornado as the road we took was directly in the damage path (I shot video, several snapped trees and trees down in the road) I can also confirm that it was raining debris, as we saw large sticks coming down out of the air as the tornado began to dissipate. An extremely good chase and I would only be happier if these cells weren’t hp monsters

I’d say lake lotawana had one on the ground. There was a small cc spike with that directly correlated with the velocity/reflectivity scans

The western most cell likely needs a warning as well

Wow, sorry I’m getting to this late. You mean the kck f4 tornado correct? My father brother and I went out and chased that thing and took video footage. First tornado I ever saw. A classmate of mine in school also had her house leveled from that tornado. Certainly a day I’ll never forget

When people pull crap like that it really rustles my jimmies

Nice headline msn.

Not good for okmulgee

It’s the plains man. Something at the last minute like too many contrails in the atmosphere meant supercells weren’t able to sustain their updrafts will happen.

I think the results of Joplin had more to do with an f5 going through a majorly populated area where home owners had subpar house construction and 82% of home owners were without basements and less to do with public perception but I’m going to shut up now

Agreed. Everyone is concerned that this setup won’t produce because of strong capping but I think that’s precisely why we should be concerned for what you mentioned. You’re in between a rock and hard place for public safety really. Stronger cap means much stronger, isolated storms. Weaker cap means flooding. Ideally the cap is so strong nothing happens, but then we wouldn’t have anything to get excited about in here either

And I don’t disagree with you. I just happen to think it gets blown way out of proportion. When the rubber meets the road and the sirens Blair, most everyone I know gets to shelter. It’s the crazy ones like me that hop in the truck and try to chase it down.

I don’t know if I buy into the whole public perception thing when things “bust”. Your average lay person doesn’t geek out, following Mets on Twitter. They hear their own Mets on the morning news say “there could be severe weather tonight, stay weather aware” and leave it at that. Geneally speaking, most reasonable people hear a tornado siren and take cover. This stuff gets blown out of proportion on these forums and as long as local Mets don’t say stupid stuff like get in your car and drive south when there’s a tornado on the ground, we shouldn’t worry about it much in my opinion

Wasn’t expecting this not far from me. Should’ve been chasing. Agh

This one is about to go.

In bit of a radar hole but Dodson looks like it could be producing
