  1. Saw this nice image on Wiki referring to the outbreak
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. AP now reporting 339 dead which makes this the 2nd deadliest tornadic outbreak in U.S. history.
  5. Yeah as soon as the Cullman tornado showed that at around 3pm, I knew this wasn't just your normal outbreak.
  6. Agree, I think that aerial video of the track through Tuscaloosa is just jaw-dropping.
  7. Yeah if you go purely by the radar, it looked to weaken for about 20-30 miles before picking back up NE of Birmingham.
  8. I think we need to break this safety discussion off somewhere, so it can stop crowding this thread up.
  9. You can't definitively tell which tornado will probably be very violent and which won't be.
  10. This, telling people to evacuate would be the absolute worse case scenario.
  11. If thats correct, then we are looking at over 70 alone in Tuscaloosa. Not counting what happened as the tornado moved Northeast.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. Very well put. Really can not sum it up much better than this.
  16. Yeah same here has to be close to the highest scan ever recorded by an nws radar.
  17. I really wish that it was, I fear that maybe we could get close to the super outbreak numbers as janet mentions.
  18. I fear that there are some areas that they have not even gotten to yet.
  19. Indeed, these 3 really did a great job in predicting this events magnitude.
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. Yeah, really puts into perspective not only the vertical shear that was in the atmosphere but the horizontal shear today.
  23. Yeah its tough to say how fast those winds were but I'd probably take a stab at 80-100+
  24. At first it was inflow from 4 to 6, around 7 mins its RFD when he moves the car.
