Cyclone-68

As we’re only a day away from the 72nd anniversary of the great Worcester Tornado, is there a way to get a current picture of this particular area as it looks today vs what this tornado depicts here in ‘53? I’ve tried google maps but with limited success..Any help is greatly appreciated.

14 years ago today the Springfield EF3..Can’t possibly believe it was that long ago

Holy crap just had a strike and boom so close/loud that it knocked stuff off our mantle lol

Definitely glad I’m not in the prediction business with regard to the t storm I’m currently having

I like this..It won’t necessarily be memorable but Jesus at least it’s SOMEthing

Thanks Wiz you teach me something new everyday ☺️

Just something I noticed in the point and click. No WAY can this be correct..Thunderstorms with cold temps and an easterly wind? That’s rubbish, no? Thursday Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 3pm, then showers between 3pm and 5pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 5pm. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Patchy fog. High near 51. Northeast wind 11 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.

This turned out to be at least a semi eventful day for a lot of folks and I think that’s great. I had absolutely zero expectations for my area today and it over delivered a bit..A nice start to May as someone posted earlier

Thank you for making me aware of this. This and video of the tornado approaching the guy in the window are two of the most incredible things on the web to me

Yup that and the Aug 10th 2000 nocturnal event..Sad that only two in 25 years stand out lol

Someone else posted this here a year or two ago..One of the most insane clips I’ve ever seen:

Last night about 5am was a nice mini event. Gave me just enough juice to keep me happy for a few days. Hopefully something transpires tomorrow even if likely to be non severe

Sold! A starving man will accept even a crust of moldy bread

Maybe a couple of bangs/booms in the next 24 hours before SNE “spring” returns?

Looks like it could get interesting a little west of you on Wednesday?

7.5 in Holden according to my niece

I would love to see a picture of this exact location from today.

I’m sure we’ll be fighting off severe weather opportunities with a stick this summer

17th deadliest tornado in US history happened in 1927 in Poplar Bluff

Oh man the Midwest is getting killed tonight. I can’t ever recall 4 large confirmed tornadoes on the ground at the same time at night.. OMG

At least with this one we already know not to set expectations too high

Any interest in following the severe threat in the south tomorrow Wiz? Can you recommend any links by chance?

I’ll defer to you of course and I didn’t measure it officially. I just eye balled it. If it was it couldn’t have been much more than that.. Or maybe the snow settled before I got out to look at it

Not for us poor saps in eastern NE lol. Haven’t had over 5 inches of snow in almost three years which is almost unprecedented for us.. The 80’s were lean too as I recall though

Man this sucks. We must be the only part of the country with nothing going on weather wise in the last couple of years.
