This might be the single most violent motion I’ve ever seen documented. 

It’s a great video. Awesome intercept. But nowhere near the most violent motion. Go watch films of the Elie MB tornado. That’s my go-to. 

poppin off

ive only picked up about .5" so far.  looks like the worst precip for now is locking in south of here.

Hey guys… not from this sub forum but happened to be in the area. Almost got ran over by the Lincoln, NE tornado. not chasing just driving through. Apologies for the freak out I’m more of a casual weather fan and have never seen a tornado in real life before. Legit thought I was going to take a direct hit. Anyway just thought I’d share.

 

Also, please don’t give that out for free. @BuffaloWeathercan hook you up with media contacts 

lol what a banger video

The tornadoes that Ohio has seen this year don't even begin to compare with the hype I've seen for severe events the last few months. The way social media acts is insane. 

Theres a demand for the hype. Evan fryberger sits there 3x a week with thousands of viewers and doesn’t even know what a debris ball is.

Legit question: For several weeks, actually over two months now, my social media feeds have been filled with images of model runs and warnings of severe weather. Soundings and HRRR runs and NAM runs for the upcoming week, etc. etc. Yet week after week passes without any images of tornadoes or tennis ball sized hail or anything half as significant as what I see warned about on social media the week prior. This goes for the Ohio valley, the Great Plains, pretty much anywhere. So my question is...are the models overestimating storms this year? Or am I just on social media filled with salivating amateur storm chasers desperate to get a glimpse of a funnel cloud?

weird that you're perceiving a crappy tornado year because ohio has been red hot

I’m going to go post up in sterling tomorrow and try to catch a landspout. Will leave the main outbreak sequence to the Kadens and Jadens and halls of the world. 

Something bad is going to happen 

it's ripping here in north fort collins...not as bad as it is a few miles up the road, though.

XCel energy is proactively shutting off power to a lot of homes on the front range until tomorrow. Seems a bit drastic, but then again they'll get blamed for wildfires if they didn't do it.

No email from xcel for me. Fingers crossed. My development is all buried so hopefully will be fine.

this is more of a cold upper-air event, which might be called a "bora," which is one of two downslope wind types (katabatic and adiabatic, Foehn and Bora, from the Alps in Europe.)

NW wind gusts of 41 kt next to SE wind gusts of 38 kt

 

My understanding is that the first half of the event is bora, switching to chinook later tonight. This is based upon last nights boulder forecast discussion, but I’m not a met. Either way it sucks. 

This is my first major chinook event.  Have no idea what to expect.  Hopefully my proximity to 25/the plains helps cut down my max gusts.  I'm supposed to pick up my wife at DIA tonight and am hoping her flight just gets cancelled.

maybe 1" now in foco.  what a banger.

What does the sock thing mean?  I've seen it mentioned a couple times.

A sock puppet is an alternate account designed to disguise the true author

You brought up the discord, and got him started on it, lol.  It's okay though.

I just thought it was weird that western PA drama was spilling over into a relatively unrelated place.

I’m ready for winter to end…please make it stop

lol, hope you’re joking, because I’m literally on 0 other sites.

i cant verify who is who.  I just know that @KPITSnowwas being screenshotted elsewhere, by anonymous socks, and I thought it was kinda scummy.

Do we have a pittsburgh weather discord? 

If you guys did I would join. I am from western PA originally. 

Just now, KPITSnow said:

Do you have a link by chance. They have been doing it for years and I am tired of it.

Do you have discord? That’s where it was. It’s not just like a url I can send you

Just now, KPITSnow said:

Not shocking. I’m guessing it’s the same person. 

I can’t verify any of that. They’re using socks there as well. Someone called “the luxury of dooming”

@Ahoff @Rd9108 @TimB leave me the hell alone. Stop bitching about me being negative. Just shut up in general.

 

all of your obsessions and frankly stalking me as weird as hell. 

I’ve seen these folks on other sites screenshotting your posts and talking about how much you suck. You should know they are talking behind your back too.
