  1. It must be different everywhere. Wisconsin had a major focus on forecasting the weather along with the science. Synoptic meteorology, mesoscale meteorology, and radar and satellite took me from a novice to actually knowing what I'm doing. Other classes added bits and pieces to the forecasting puzzle too.
  2. NWS in Fairbanks is calling this the deepest storm in 35 years. They're saying it could wipe out Kivalina on the Bering Sea coast. Only 400 people but they need to get the heck out of there.
  3. Perhaps JoMo's lull was the time inbetween 'microvortices' on the outer edge of the tornado, since it sounds like he only got clipped thankfully. The convenience store lull seemed like the time inbetween the outer edge of the tornado (where there are many vigorous microvortices) and the main vortice in the center. This is all speculation though.
  4. Pilots do not fly over supercells, the updraft easily goes into the lower stratopshere.
  5. A friend of a friend FB status from the univ of alabama: "Oh my god...there are no words. my heart just broke....everything is gone."
  6. Eoline, AL about to get a direct hit from a 110 kt couplet with a debris ball.
  7. Less than 20 minutes until this tears through downtown Birmingham.
  8. Might be a small tornado forming on the RFL, going through downtown...
  9. Just prior to hail from the cell attenuating the signal, it was detecting a 200+ kt couplet at 1200 ft.
  10. The supercell approaching Tuscaloosa, AL is getting its act back together.
  11. Debris ball just got alot more intense with a 180 kt couplet NE of Pisgah, AL.
  12. Definite debris ball over Smithville, AL, 140 kt couplet. Wow...
  13. Might be seeing the first signs of debris on radar from the 120 kt couplet that just went through Bigbee, MS. Heading directly for Smithville.
  14. Phil Campbell, AL, just took a direct hit from a 160 kt couplet.
  15. A medical center has been hit in Cullman. Anyone save the tower video? I'm dying to see it.
