  1. 3 dead in Clarksville, 3 dead in Madison, last report I could find was they were still searching. Heavy damage and people trapped in homes in Springfield, too. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2023/12/09/tennessee-tornado-nashville-clarksville-hendersonville-springfield-damage-report/71866535007/
  2. Something just exploded in Madison/Hendersonville when hit by the tornado. I'd guess a small storage tank, tanker truck, or railroad tank car. Google Traffic suggests the tornado crossed the railroad junction in Madison.
  3. I want some locals to run over shameless phony Justin Michaels with MIchelle Kosinski's canoe. Edit: Charles Goodloe reduced to interviewing Sinead O'Connor walking a paddleboard on a Clearwater street.
  4. 2 thoughts: 1. Looking at the swamps and topography of Florida's armpit, I'd say the odds are up to almost 50% that 1 or more dumb disaster wankers "Imma documentary stormchaserz!" ends up getting themselves killed by poor decisions. 2. Could be some really terrible results depending on where the surge for this thing hits. So many very low lying houses. Take a look at all those canal streets in Suwannee: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.3297975,-83.1433486,2760m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu You've got mobile homes on the water that will flood with as little as 5' of surge and some wave action: https://www.google.com/maps/@29.3308642,-83.1400039,3a,15y,234.07h,86.97t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDUHcWJw9R1rGrvVwgnjaTQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?entry=ttu And even the homes built on stilts may have to contend with a lot of battering tree and mobile home debris atop the surge, driven by the winds. 1-2 miles inland not so advantageous when it's that low lying. We saw in Ike the way many stilt homes couldn't take the high surge + wave action, I'd guess it would have been even worse if there had been a mile of 3' elevation forested swamp in between. Might initially blunt the waves, but debris pile would eventually slam forward. No way I'd try to ride it out in Cedar Key, Suwanneee, Yankeetown, Horseshoe Beach, or even parts of Steinhatchee. And with all those snappable pines and thick forests, I would never mock anyone well inland evacuating from fears of wind damage.
  5. Just became Franklin, and you must be confusing this system (topic) with the Gulf of Mexico system. Franklin will not be a threat to the Gulf but could pose some interaction with the Mid-Atlantic to New England depending on how modeling evolves and trough vs western Atlantic ridging interaction. Thanks. But... ...the Little Orphan Annie secret society decoder pin says: "Dang, how long has it been Franklin? I assume a lot of lighting involved? The key for me is keeping this turkey away from Houston." Should have added kite flying and Punnsylvania references.
  6. Dang, how long has it been Franklin? I assume a lot of lighting involved? The key for me is keeping this turkey away from Houston.
  7. Dang, a tornado trio is unusual in that part of northeastern(ish) TN, and in daylight no less.
  8. Yeah, 3 tornado warnings in Texas now, near Hearne, Van (Tippecanoe), and Tyler, too.
  9. The Sometimes Weather Channel just gave KS and OK the bird. Airheads Go to Peru has just preempted the 2 ongoing tornadoes.
  10. Stopped for damage in that neighborhood. Not sure if it's from the tornado or that reckless chaser Subaru again....

  12. Like barfing or sneezing or what? Spoiler tag those vids, please.
  13. Looks like falling bricks from the upper wall caused the Belvidere Apollo Theater roof collapse:
  14. Now just a few miles east of Stranger, TX. #StrangerDanger
  15. Hazel Green, AL rated EF-3. 1 killed. 7 dead in the McNairy County, TN (Adamsville, near Selmer) tornado, at least 20 killed so far in the outbreak that began yesterday.
  16. Finally, no tor warns for the moment. Though reportedly someone is stuck in a tree from the Hazel Green, AL tornado.
  17. Tor warn continuing in the eastern KY mountains, east of the watch box now.
  18. https://twitter.com/wxmansamc/status/1642045563167178753 Complete Destruction reports from ema in Morris Chapel TN “Houses, Cars, People gone”
  19. I'm just amazed that The Weather Channel is actually still covering this. Small victories, I guess. They're infamous for bailing no later than midnight central. I remember them switching to Nose Picking Ice Truckers reruns as the Jefferson City, MO tornado was churning through the city and the on-air mets were visibly shaken by the devastation they knew was taking place.
  20. According to chat, they've got barbed wire fencing wrapped around an axle.
