Two tornadoes on the ground now in Texas embedded in that celll cluster. The southern one has a chance to go a while if it can stave off the crapvection around it. 

Confirmed tornado with this.

Sounds like we got quite fortunate yesterday and last night. The Carl Junction/Golden City cell seems to have avoided the most populous areas. If it had tracked just a little further south, we would have probably seen catastrophic tornado damage with that cell. 

The Jefferson City tornado appears to have skimmed the south side of the City, avoiding the more populous parts. It appears poorly built structures were lofted by it, which explains the radar presentation we saw after. The CC drop, and debris falling out of the sky well out ahead of the storm, was highly suggestive of an EF4+ tornado. Not saying we didn’t get that kind of damage somewhere, but it seems like the worst case scenario was avoided with that one as well. 

Factor in that storms didn’t quite take off by the  OKC metro, and we really dodged a bullet on the whole. Thoughts are with those who were a lot less lucky yesterday.

Agreed, things could've been a lot worse. Damage in Golden City looks pretty extensive, given how the storm started cycling just west of the city they probably avoided the worst. Some of the daytime pictures of the Jefferson City tornado show some brick structures severely damaged and some stripped down to very little, though it seems like the most damage was done in a more industrial area in the western part ot the city. 

The advanced warning and overall emergency preparedness is top notch in this country, the NWS/SPC did an amazing job yesterday. 

Impressive damage

The cell east of Lebanon has some extremely strong rotation, it's very likely producing but seems to be in a rural area.

Some really bad damage pictures starting to come in. 

Keep in mind that it's unconfirmed 

That looks pretty bad, debris look to be close to 13K feet.

Got to love the mid mo radar hole. Scary images though. Decent size town 

That radar hole blows. Had a big CC drop though and it could've been fairly significant. 

Pretty strong couplet west of Eldon MO, there was a weak TDS with it about 5-10 minutes ago. 

Lots of areas of strong embedded rotation as we transition to a QLCS tornado threat. As others have said though, flooding will be a MAJOR issue.

To each their own I guess. Looks like a solid ef 2-3 tornado. No where near what Andove was 

Looks decent but it was definitely stronger a bit SW of Golden City. We'll see what tomorrow brings. 

Major structural damage reported just west of Golden City. There are some clusters of a few houses both west and immediately north of them. I'm assuming the ones to the west got hit hard. 

Luckily it's moving through rural areas now as the GTG shear is as strong as it's been in its life-cycle. 

Edit; since there's another strong tornado on the ground, let me clarify that I'm referring to the one SW of Golden City MO.

I didn't know it had lifted in the first place

I don't think it did, extremely defined rotation comfortably south of Jasper. 

That's a densely populated area, hopefully it lifts. 

Large TOG NW of Commerce OK

Storm SW of Joplin looks ominous.

That storm is likely producing but at the current path should go well NW of them (if it holds together)

TDS on this storm.

If it's still on the ground, it'll be a VERY close call for Welch.

Supercell in Cherokee Co. KS is ramping up as well.

Tornado warned now. 

Three tornado warnings in KS with a confirmed large tornado south of Holton.

Is that in a warning update/severe weather statement because the last one I have from them is from 4:58 pm.  Maybe just a problem on my end.

Confirmed large, very dangerous tornado with a huge debris ball near Augusta, straddling the St. Louis/St. Charles County lines, and it's headed directly at the NWS office in Weldon Spring. 

GTG shear is insane 

It's very close to the radar site so I'm not sure what to make of this.
