    I haven't seen anything on Twitter from any of the local tv affiliates in HSV, and they're always on top of things.

    This cell is transiting 3 adjacent office CWAs and the mess of warnings for small slivers of counties has to be a headache to coordinate.

    Radar confirmed tornado over Sewanee as it moved up the terrain.
  4. Calderon
    We'll see what happens with the Franklin County, TN cell as it approaches and climbs the Cumberland Plateau just northeast of Winchester.

    I'm really surprised BMX hasn't fired a warning for extreme northern Marion County because it is literally on the county line with Franklin that is HSV's responsibility. EDIT: Just as I hit submit, they put out a SVR warn for it at least.

    New TOR warning for cell that I mentioned earlier, and it looks mean as hell. It's going to ride the Franklin/Marion County line and headed right towards the 2011 EF-5 ravaged town of Hackleburg.

    Tornado confirmed again NE of Littleville, AL.

    Storm in northern Itawamba County, MS just northeast of Mantachie is getting its mid-level rotation together pretty quickly as it is in the process of absorbing a heavy shower on the southern flank.

    Dollar General store destroyed just barely outside the northern city limit of Tishomingo, MS.
  10. Calderon
    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.
  11. 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
  13. Calderon
    Yeah, the cell approaching Fulton, MS is clearly rotating and has a pretty unabated inflow to the south and east. .
  14. Calderon
    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.
  19. Calderon
    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. .
  20. Calderon
    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.
  22. Calderon
    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.
  23. Calderon
    And DFW Airport is in the direct path of this exploding storm. Looks like American is about to get some newly dented planes.
  24. Calderon
    HSV gusted to 61kts.
  25. Calderon
    Ardmore cell producing again, confirmed near Huntland in Jackson County and will pass less than 5 miles north of the Hytop (HTX) radar.
