Something must have happened to him... if I witnessed a major weather event, this would be the first place I would go to to discuss it. I hope not, but still weird situation there.

Hmmm. Can you share the images that look EF5 to you? Curious to see!

Well, this for one. This tornado just tossed the vehicles around like they were Matchbox cars and flattened them like pancakes... didn't see anything like this last year with the EF4. This looks more like the F5 damage to me.

So, what's the expectation Re: intensity-- EF4?

A few of the damage pics have an EF4 look to them, with the homes really flattened and the trees stripped completely down to sticks. It definitely looks worse than EF3 to me in some places.

Looks EF5 to me... I helped clean up after an EF4 last year and it wasn't even close to as bad as the images I've seen from this one.

Let's move this thread to the SE forum... since most of the activity is there.

These storms aren't even safe to chase... if you don't watch your back, you're liable to have another twister spin up behind you. Everybody should just hunker down in the basement for the rest of the day until this threat has passed.

Wow... 15% hatched tor probabilities all the way up to near Mansfield, OH. SPC must be expecting all hell to break loose this afternoon / evening.

SPC has just upgraded the storm outlook. Moderate risk now extending all the way to Lake Erie... slight risk all the way into SE Lower Michigan. Tornado watches all across the Mid-Atlantic.

if you say so

already dozens of tornadoes last evening and overnight..mulitple fatalities

over 50 prelims now but many more will be added too

the outbreak continues

Yeah, doesn't make sense to declare a bust at 12:15 PM EDT / 11:15 AM CDT. Lots of day left.

Possible tornado in Perrysburg, OH (just south of Toledo) at 11:30 AM. Some damage to a trailer park and reports of a funnel cloud.

Stronger surface reflection could also cause a farther NW Track, might not be much, but at least some. The NAM showing some impressive STP numbers across Eastern Indiana/Western Ohio.

Hopefully, some of that shear and convective available potential energy will spread north so we can get in on some action here in Ohio. It's been really boring here severe-weatherwise, while elsewhere has been getting hammered.

Where is the greatest risk of significant tornadoes with this? Will Ohio experience some of the tornadic activity this time?
