  1. Far more people in this country care about the wedding than these tornadoes; it's simple ratings. And CNN, for example, has spent big money moving their whole staff to London. What's really unseemly is when they are in London interviewing Dame Edna or some fashion designer and laughing it up and then the anchors have to turn around and do their frowny concerned face to talk about the tornadoes. And there is a regional component; 200+ killed in NY or LA and they'd drastically cut the wedding coverage.
  2. I wonder if anyone has looked at the whole sprite/blue jet thing above strong tornadic supercells.
  3. And what percentage of the leveled buildings have been searched so far?
  4. And there's not the level of specific storm shelters or underground shelter there is in, say, Oklahoma. And these are the rare tornadoes that can kill you in the interior bathroom of a real house.
  5. Go back and find the beginning of the Japan Tsunami thread on the main board (in no way, shape, or form am I suggesting the numbers will be comparable, just the trend of reports.)
  6. CNN has Tuscaloosa tornado video tagged with "apparent tornado" at the bottom. Also Chad Myers rather stupidly talking about how everything should be weakening at the moment. EDIT: He just proclaimed the outbreak "done."
  7. Confirmed TOG for the cell SW of Tuscaloosa... AT 428 PM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND STORM SPOTTERS WERE TRACKING A LARGE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO. THIS TORNADO WAS LOCATED NEAR JENA...OR 15 MILES SOUTHWEST OF NORTHPORT... MOVING NORTHEAST AT 55 MPH. THE TORNADO WILL BE NEAR... NORTHPORT...COKER AND 8 MILES SOUTHEAST OF LAKE LURLEEN STATE PARK AROUND 440 PM CDT. BRYANT DENNY STADIUM AND MCFARLAND MALL AROUND 445 PM CDT.
  8. Another line of sups developing over central MS - one NE of Jackson should go nuts soon.
  9. Saying this won't match the 1974 Superoutbreak isn't declaring a bust.
  10. That embedded rotating galaxy from MS to TN might be the first long-tracker of yesterday and today; interesting to see how long it turns out to be.
