Sweet looking MCS rolling across Nebraska... spot of 90 kts (103 mph) at around 1k ft

Been watching the huge anvil top from here for a while now...awesomely isolated for most of its life. CSU-CHILL radars been scanning it, got some dope RHIs

Monster cell been treking for a while up near the north Colorado border. 77dbz

Sick.

Was not born yet *drops mic*

CIMSS satellite blog has a post on this: http://cimss.ssec.wi.../archives/11467

Just took a look at Joplin on Google Maps...I'm not sure when the image was updated but you can still pretty clearly see a scar from the tornado across the southern side of the city...as well as zoom in and see just the blocks and blocks of devastation.

This year has brought us some of the most incredible tornado footage I've ever seen. Wow.

I'm attending the University of Michigan next year, which has a Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences program as part of their engineering school, which I think is interesting and might be helpful. I was talking to one of the professors a while back about it, and they started talking about how today a lot of the work in these fields requires some engineering experiences and knowledge that many graduates don't receive at other schools. Right now I'm planning on double amjoring in Atmospheric Sceinces and Computer Sciences.

That's.....kinda scary.

Look at the one on the sounding thundersnow posted earlier "Mod PM Hail Size"....Not a number

Obama visited the area today...

211 tornado reports

I dunno about having a tornado shelter. I just think people would be even less inclined to use it then they are already to take shelter in their basements.

Looks like he wants to use this a reprimands for the gov. response for Katrina... He gave thanks to the firefighters and EMTs and police forecs on the scene (who obviously deserve it), but no mention of the NWS or SPC, who I think did a phenomenal job yesterday....but I guess that's to be expected...

Hard to look at. ......no words

Kids in my computer class right now gathered around a computer watching some of the Tusculoosa footage...glad to see that they've at least heard of the event.

Whats the difference between EF4 and EF5 damage?

This event may very well end up being ranked in the top ten deadliest outbreaks in america of all time. All of the other events in this list are from 1974 or earlier, back when technology and warning lead times were barely a fraction of what they are today. I think that really shows the power of this event. "HOWEVER THE WEATHER NEVER ENDS AND WE MUST CONTINUE" ....amen

My jaw dropped...

I know that the got rid of the report filter....but to see N. AL colored in red is yet another thing that goes beyond words today

Anyone have a video of the skycam when the tornado was coming towards Tuscaloosa? Those images look terrifying,

That's....I've never seen anything like that before. The detail....the updrafts and vorticity is incredible. And all of those power flashes...

Just read through everything since this morning. Absolutely unreal. Today will go down in history.

I will be be occupied pretty much all day tomorrow and wont be able to get to a computer....but if anyone here could be so kind as to text me if it looks like anything noteworthy is happening in SEMI, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm always on edge when I'm not updated on my weather.... PM me if you're willing
