    Dollar General store destroyed just barely outside the northern city limit of Tishomingo, MS.

    Honestly, this TOR E is probably not warranted at this point given the velocity presentation and it's clear that the CC expanding is debris falling in the forward flank downdraft.
  3. Calderon
    Confirmed on radar as well now with a CC drop just north of Tishomingo. Brett Adair has it confirmed visually.

    New warning in Middle Tennessee

    Yeah, the cell approaching Fulton, MS is clearly rotating and has a pretty unabated inflow to the south and east. .

    Yeah, sorry, it wasn't meant to come across like that. It's the military in me, pretty crass and direct. I'm about to go on Sunday overseas for a pretty extended stay doing weather support, so my attitude hasn't been the best lately. The virus outbreak shifted so much in less than 5 days that it's thrown me completely off track and caused a lot, and I mean A LOT of stress.

    Umm, those are smoke plumes from prescribed burns.

    That top frame, the tornado had already dissipated. This tornado spun up rapidly and dissipated rather abruptly, according to OHX survey. It managed to die off before hitting both Cookeville Regional Medical Center and the Tennessee Tech University campus.

    That’s a terrible camera angle because it’s a parking lot seen through a damaged breezeway. You can seen the windshield of another car “underneath” it. .

    It depends on quality of construction. There were 3 homes in a row swept clean in the 4/10/09 Good Friday EF4 in Murfreesboro, the strongest tornado of the year, but were given EF3 rating because of the crappy construction. Cookeville is clearly EF3, and maybe low-end EF4 if homes were constructed of somewhat better build.

    Those homes on Mt. Juliet will be the dictating factor if this is upgraded to EF4 or not, and given the immediately adjacent damage to the foundation, the construction was probably not the best. The cars are barely displaced and the trees that fell right beside them aren’t even partially defoliated, even if they are pines. It basically looks like the house just got shoved right over into the backyard. .

    The Nashville/Mt. Juliet tornado is likely EF3 minimum based on multiple nearly completely destroyed structures. The completely destroyed homes in Mt. Juliet may warrant an upgrade, pending structural review.

    KC Int'l closed earlier this morning and closed until noon, for now. I was inbound from STL to connect and go on to SAN and we got diverted back and then cancelled.

    Once the hail threat diminished some, that momentum really brought the wind to Smyrna, Walter Hill, and northern Murfreesboro. My folks took some tree damage and there were numerous snapped and uprooted trees near the Siegel schools and the VA Medical Center.

    And DFW Airport is in the direct path of this exploding storm. Looks like American is about to get some newly dented planes.

    HSV gusted to 61kts.

    Ardmore cell producing again, confirmed near Huntland in Jackson County and will pass less than 5 miles north of the Hytop (HTX) radar.
  18. Calderon
    Damage confirmed to the AL welcome center on I-65.
  19. Calderon
    Tornado confirmed near Ardmore.
  20. Calderon
    Apparently a confirmed tornado near Falkville & Lacon in southern Morgan County.
  21. Calderon
    There are zero chasers on live stream on that cell about to cross I-65 near Ardmore.
  22. Calderon
    TDS near Lester, headed directly at Ardmore and the I-65 welcome center for Alabama.
  23. Calderon
    Yep, but thinking this cluster just to the south is keeping it at bay for now.
  24. Calderon
    Tornado confirmed to have gone through Russellville, AL.
  25. Calderon
    New video has been posted of the the monsterous north Alabama EF-5 as it passed near Hackleburg and Phil Campbell. This home was on the very edge of the path and winds I'd say are easily in the 80-100mph range. The sound is incredible and the motion of the funnel for a tornado nearly a mile wide is absolutely astounding.
