    Man that is just unbelievable how fast that thing spun up, it literally went from wall cloud to monster in 60 seconds.
  2. Stebo
    Very good to hear you made it out ok, however it is unfortunate to hear that you have people you know who have died.
  3. Stebo
    True, to be honest in a field this specialized you should consider yourself lucky if you get a job in the city you live in. That happened to be the case with me and I am very lucky that it occurred that way.

    Most majors don't balance out jobs to grads, especially with how the economy is right now... Also like many others have said there are many ways into the field. Personally I am going the observer route right now.

    Saw this nice image on Wiki referring to the outbreak
  6. Stebo
    Maybe there was over 100 tornadoes on Wednesday, LSRs for the day now show 259 reports. Even if you cut that in half, you are looking at over 125 tornadoes in one day.
  7. Stebo
    Yeah I would have to say in the North here we don't heed the sirens like those in The South or Plains. It is just a matter of time before that issue will cause a large loss of life.
  8. Stebo
    AP now reporting 339 dead which makes this the 2nd deadliest tornadic outbreak in U.S. history.
  9. Stebo
    Yeah as soon as the Cullman tornado showed that at around 3pm, I knew this wasn't just your normal outbreak.

    Agree, I think that aerial video of the track through Tuscaloosa is just jaw-dropping.
  11. Stebo
    Yeah if you go purely by the radar, it looked to weaken for about 20-30 miles before picking back up NE of Birmingham.
  12. Stebo
    I think we need to break this safety discussion off somewhere, so it can stop crowding this thread up.
  13. Stebo
    You can't definitively tell which tornado will probably be very violent and which won't be.
  14. Stebo
    This, telling people to evacuate would be the absolute worse case scenario.
  15. Stebo
    If thats correct, then we are looking at over 70 alone in Tuscaloosa. Not counting what happened as the tornado moved Northeast.
  16. Stebo
    The Rosedale area was what was originally mentioned in that report last night that we denounced earlier as being false. Lets hope it is still false.
  17. Stebo
    No I agree with you on this, as that MCS probably laid a boundary in N. AL that enhanced the shear even more in the area. Plus the loss of power aspect that the MCS caused too.
  18. Stebo
    Agree really puts yesterday into perspective though as it could have been much worse as there had originally been a moderate risk up to Cleveland only to be scaled back some. As bad as yesterday was, it could have been much worse.
  19. Stebo
    Very well put. Really can not sum it up much better than this.
  20. Stebo
    Yeah same here has to be close to the highest scan ever recorded by an nws radar.
  21. Stebo
    I really wish that it was, I fear that maybe we could get close to the super outbreak numbers as janet mentions.
  22. Stebo
    I fear that there are some areas that they have not even gotten to yet.
  23. Stebo
    Indeed, these 3 really did a great job in predicting this events magnitude.
  24. Stebo
    Also preliminary tornado reports for the day are at 161, which is probably also going to go up. This also puts us well over 1000 tornado reports for the year, and it is only April 28th
  25. Stebo
    I just got into work and all I can say is that I am speechless, and I fear that this number is still going to go up. Especially as they have just now seen the light of day down there.
