That's a crazy TDS

You're pushing it just a bit man. Far from a violent tornado signature. But definitely a damaging tornado at night which is still dangerous regardless. 

I was reacting too quickly to the donut hole. That looked pretty strong.

I think that's a violent tornado

Donut hole alert for Battle Creek.

I really should not have dismissed the possibility of tornadoes at night.    Rotation headed straight for Battle Creek is nasty.

 

That looks like an absurdly large and powerful tornado.

How many tornadoes is that cell producing?

Latest models are pretty unimpressive. That includes the 12Z UKMET, which has no TCG.

This one has way too much time under little shear and very high OHC. I don't know what the models are seeing.

Models are out to lunch on this one.

Looks like eye started to fill right before landfall. May have weakened ever so slightly probably from land interaction with mountainous terrain. But NHC called it a 165mph landfall

Hurricane models showed this nicely. Huge expansion of wind field and truck tire eye. Not much strengthening though due to larger size.

A lot less weakening though, Canada and NE may be in for a really bad time.

First time I've seen Idalia with intense convection around the entire eyewall

On the cusp of becoming a major hurricane
