Nah I live in suburban Charleston, SC. I golf 3 times a week and swim daily because our government has not gone overboard on things. But regardless these extreme rules are going to destroy the economy of Michigan. So yes telling people they cannot buy a bag of mulch or a gallon of paint is bad because that means less people going to work. That’s the thing, many factories and companies are still running where it’s really going to spread, not a damn Home Depot. So what is going to happen is tons of people are going to be laid off at those stores, and then tons of people who make the product will be as well since only “essential” things can be sold. It is a fine balance needed to get through this, because especially Michigan is going to be gutted by this as the auto industry is destroyed

If that's the line of thinking our country has I'd rather the coronavirus wipe us all out. Just because there is a catastrophic pandemic does not mean you can tell me I cannot paint my bedroom while having to sit inside. Or plant flowers and lay mulch around the house. You can take something seriously without giving up everything, yet Michigan has done just that. Meanwhile Ohio has spearheaded the response in this country, has much more reasonable rules, and a much lower case count. Governor Whitmer will likely, and deservedly lose re-election based on what she has done. It does not shock me to see a Democrat go overboard on the rights of individuals, but it does sadden me. What do you expect out of the same place where droves of people willingly give money to unions though.

Definitely lived up to the billing. One of the great severe outbreaks I've ever been apart of

I think the big issue with Michigan is how draconian the governors laws have been. I understand it's a serious issue in the state, but there is no argument with the fact that Lansing has gotten extreme with its tactics. They've made it illegal to buy non-essential goods at the store? It's illegal to travel between two residences you own? Golf is not allowed? Who the bleep is the government to tell me what I can and can't buy at Lowes lol.

Yeah no kidding. One thing I wanted to say when I was within a mile of it was during the updraft portion as it got very calm, I could see my breath that’s how humid it is. I have never seen anything like that in my life, but you could literally feel the moisture being fed into the storm. Thankfully okay and have power again. But looks rough north of town and over towards Walterboro

Thanks. Lol been an eventful move

Tornado went north and west of town. I caught a glimpse of it, thing was a monster

Holy shit I’m under a Tornado Emergency

One thing to consider for “non-locals” is that there are very few basements in the South. Really have no options for these killer tornadoes except the bathtub

Man if anything fires in southern Alabama. Completely untouched atmosphere that is ripe for storms

Doubtful. Moving into a bit of a radar hole sadly as it goes away the Jackson one and towards Birmingham’s

Amazing debris fallout. Also with a ground scraping LCL I figured on a few wedges today

The atmosphere is so so potent that the first supercell did not even weaken the environment. That is unbelievable

Wow there is an actual hole where the tornado is on radar

Wow the town of Bassfield more than likely has just been gutted. Southern MS/AL have a much less tampered with enviro and it seems as though these cells are taking a very classic look

Looks like there still some cap in place over the mid South. Could really see things taking off around 5-6 PM

LCL's are so low (500-750) across most of risk area today. It is going to take nothing to drop a tornado considering parcels are condensing already within 2000 feet

I think it's time to go High Risk today. The fact that a large tornado just occurred within a QLCS during the morning before diurnal heating and the deepening of the low has occurred is really something. Growing up in the Great Lakes region so many classic outbreaks and strong tornadoes I have chased featured solid instability, great dews around 70° and SRH's of 250-350. Today's numbers, especially in SRH are blowing this out of the water. To see such stark numbers suggest any strong updraft may rotate, and violently at that at times.

Bingo. This setup for Easter is incredible, one of the best I’ve ever seen. But April 27th was Michael Jordan, hands down the greatest setup of all-time. And it led to some of the most memorable tornadoes ever as well. However here is an actual quote from the SPC Outlook on that morning... “THE WIND SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WILL ALSO RAPIDLY BECOME MORE FAVORABLE AS THE NOSE OF A 80 TO 100 KT MID-LEVEL JET EJECTS EWD ACROSS THE REGION AND INTERACTS WITH A WELL-DEVELOPED LOW-LEVEL JET. THIS WILL CREATE LARGE LOOPING HODOGRAPHS FROM ERN MS AND NCNTRL AL NWD INTO SRN TN. 0-3 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITIES IN THE 450 TO 600 M2/S2 RANGE SHOULD BE VERY FAVORABLE FOR TORNADIC SUPERCELLS” It’s very similar in setting the stage, just with a tad less instability. Storm motions will be insane on Sunday, 65-75 mph

Think I’m going to chase on Easter down here. Thinking of heading out to Montgomery AL and then letting the storms come to me. I won’t lie, has a chance to be an all-time outbreak down here on Sunday. Don’t like to go overboard with predictions, but good God a mid-level jet of 90 kts with 2000-3500 j/kg of CAPE, SRH from 4-500, LI’s at the surface above -10 for a large stretch, and long curved hodographs. Would not be shocked to see many long track tornadoes across southern AL/MS/GA

LI’s of -9 and SRH at the lowest levels of 450. Good heavens. Also LCL’s are really low there, you could get some groundscraping wedges out there

Jesus Toledo has more cases than Cincinnati? IMO our government needs to start planning for how we re-open post social distancing. As we start to decline off this peak, they need to have plans in place to take temperatures before entering any buildings. Also they need to require masks for anyone inside an interior building. Our economy simply cannot survive if this continues past May 1. Safety is paramount, but in 3 weeks we need to be ready to go out to eat and shop at Target again. If that doesn't happen, the cure will indeed wind up being worse than the sickness overall.

With our family postponing Easter in Savannah and no church services I think I'm going to head out from Charleston to chase this one. Mid-level jet will be roaring around 100 kts, solid destabilization, and large curved hodographs all look like a great setup. Also it is important to note that the better setup is on the Euro which bodes well if you're looking for tornadoes.

I noticed that. Great looking supercell

I thought a derecho was 240 miles in distance and 50 miles wide?
