Doesn’t seem like the damage is that bad in Dayton.

Debris being lofted 20k feet in Dayton says there was quite a bit of damage, however it's also nighttime so it'll be a while before we find out.

That’s not another debris ball is it?

It most likely was.  Couplet in SRV, and CC drop in the same location at the same time.

ef 2 likely?

At a minimum yes, reminds me a lot of the tornado that struck Iowa City in April 2006 at night, which was an EF2.  This one may be a bit stronger though.

El Reno Airport, directly in the path of the Caddo Co, OK storm has SSE winds at 13mph while not too far north there are north winds.  After everything that's happened today, wouldn't shock me if the storm would try to latch onto the boundary and do something even though it's almost 2am.

I guess the Weather Channel doesn't give a crap about midwest tornado warnings after 2 a.m. eastern, because, reruns.

Agreed, dunno why they don't cover it.  Guess they want their reruns shown for the 1,000th time.  However, WeatherNation is covering it.

Take this with a grain of salt, since it's Twitter.  However if true, that tornado went right through downtown.  Hopefully there are no fatalities.
 

From Twitter, picture of the tornado from Jefferson City.

Andover was a cornfield in Canada?

Outbreak must be getting boring for people with all this bickering.

The motion on that video of that tornado was impressive.  Not Andover in strength most likely, but still impressive regardless.

Two tornadoes on the ground according to KSN near Golden City.

New circulation trying to develop NE of Golden City now.

Might miss Golden City just to the west, hopefully.

Absolutely terrifying, especially now as we're getting close to losing all daylight.

Could we see a significant adjustment to the outlook at 3?

Wondering about that also.  At this point I'd almost think there would have to be.

80/80 Tornado probabilities on the new watch.

Just now, MUWX said:

Could just be because I live in their forecast area, but SGF seems especially bad at this. They issue a ton of tornado warnings, many of them don't seem necessary. Probably a lot easier to judge when I am the one not having to make the call though

Isn't this due to the "Plainfield Syndrome", where it's better to issue too many warnings and risk getting a few wrong, rather than underwarn and miss something critical?
