  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. Wasn’t expecting this not far from me. Should’ve been chasing. Agh
  7. In bit of a radar hole but Dodson looks like it could be producing
  8. Tight velocity couplet south of midland tx
  9. The circulations aren’t as strong now but I have to wonder if there may have been dual tornadoes around perry
  10. Number of folks have forecasted this exact scenario, even implying that these would be the ones the ones that dropped the violent long trackers
  11. Good storm to be on. It’s very healthy. The junk above it could maybe keep it from being outrageous but we will see
  12. Also, lamesa tx is wanting to do its thing
  13. Keep an eye on the Blair ok storm at kfdr...
  14. Beginning to see rotation with the kmaf cluster
  15. Since inflow has been the topic of discussion on the two Texas storms, Paducah has now become dominant.
  16. Rapid development of cells at kmaf. Super cell structure on them already
  17. Was going to say. It’s not good when what are more or less rain showers look like this.
  18. Cheyenne ok has tornado warning and a good looking couplet despite the radar hole
  19. Should be interesting to see what interactions will happen with the Paducah cell side by side the dickens cell. Have to wonder if that’ll cut off inflow. The way the Paducah storm is tracking we could see cell merger
  20. Link for the lazy. https://www.severestudios.com/storm-chasers/tornado.tech.html pity the stream is in such high contrast.
