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.

According to chat, they've got barbed wire fencing wrapped around an axle.

According to twitter, heavy damage in Sullivan, IN, people trapped, aid request of surrounding counties.

According to multiple posts on twitter, these were "Death metal" bands named Morbid Angel, Revocation, Skeletal Remains, and Crypta.

The Apollo theater roof collapsed on the first rows of seats, video from inside as people try to pull debris off: https://twitter.com/CANews_Watch/status/1641983283989975041

26 dead in a major tornado outbreak last week and I couldn't find a post, much less a thread, about it on the Southeastern board. Tenn Valley might work, but it seems like nearly all the tornado coverage in MS is a carryover from further west and thus a continuation of threads here. Might as well make official what has evolved in practice. Nothing wrong with Carolina people focusing on the Carolinas, GA on GA, etc. But moving might clear up some confusion that may have limited posting when someone scanning couldn't find a thread or even activity in an event and didn't think to check the Central/Western States board (LOL). "Central/Western Time Zones Board"?

I saw on the main thread links to the following topo map website with remarks like, "Maybe Cape Coral will be ok, they're shown at 14 feet elevation." Too bad that topo map is bullcrap, at least for that area. https://en-us.topographic-map.com/maps/e0/Florida/ Shown as 14 feet: Not so much Nope You can't be serious 14 to 17 feet: C'mon man! 3 miles inland, also shown as 14 feet: Maybe in baby feet

Massachusetts hit is more likely. Except the Urban part

At the ongoing gov's news conference the FL Emerg. Mgmt director said the NHC just told him they now forecast a landfall near Venice late Wed afternoon with 125mph winds. Edit: For clarity the gov asks the director who confirms that it will be the 11 am advisory.

LOL. "Of course I don't want anyone to get hurt, but I get real excited at the possibility of someone shooting a gun into a coastal crowd", posted from a state safely far away....

Someone contact FEMA.

Could be packing a punch.

2 tor warns in WI now.

Scale: We've got a New Mexico wrapped tornado entering Texas.

Still ongoing? Tor warned currently. Close up of the mudnado:

As an Astros fan, we need to get 5 innings in now... Seems like that line will move through, so maybe a 1 to 2 hour delay? Not sure I'd want to wait out a tornado in a public area under a stadium, do they have parking garages near the stadium?

Tornado warnings on track to include the Twins-Astros game soon.

And another taking aim at Mexia

That stinks.

reports that all the van occupants are basically ok (physically....)

Storm chaser tour van at night? Zero sympathy for Darwin Tours, those disaster wankers are just making more completely unnecessary work and distraction for emergency responders. These are very low population, spread out areas. Not a huge amount of emergency resources to begin with.

Most of the population are rattlesnakes. Don't want to get close to a sneknado.
