I think I am just going to go to the parking lot up the road. Going into downtown Springfield may be a bad idea, especially if there ends up being flooding.
While the parking garage would offer a sick view I'm wondering if maybe that may be a tad southwest from where the worst may go. There is a mini plaza just up the road which has a nice view west (got a sick shelf from there last year) but obviously horizon is limited with trees so might be hard to see any tornadoes or wall clouds.
Friend just sent me a video on fb. If there is anything its rain wrapped but he did see rotation and it looks like a wall cloud. I'll have to figure out how to post the video to here
EDIT: ehhh it's too tough to tell from the video really.
Yeah this should materialize into a solid wind threat. I'm happy to see these storms really strengthen. I was worried a bit about some capping aloft, but this stuff is moving into a prime environment. Dews 73-75 will compensate quite a bit
