Ed Lizard Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 IIRC, while their existence was strongly suspected, first filmed evidence of multiple vortex tornadoes, a real obvious one in Indiana and the Xenia one also clearly had multiple vortices.

Sickman Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Look at that jet entrance streak coming out of eastern Texas. Wow. With all due respect for the carnage that was wreaked, that loop is just severe wx porn. About as picture-perfect as is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Look at that jet entrance streak coming out of eastern Texas. Wow. With all due respect for the carnage that was wreaked, that loop is just severe wx porn. About as picture-perfect as is possible. That is a beautiful image. It was also terrifying to live through. I was under one of the warned storms as a 6-year-old living in Cincinnati. The Xenia carnage was north of Cincy by about 50 or so miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSUmetstud Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 you can see the capping in southern areas on the satellite image and the soundings helped the event perform well even into Ohio and Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacoman25 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Looks fairly similar to the current pattern overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJW155 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 At one point forecasters in Indiana, frustrated because they could not keep up with all of the simultaneous tornado activity, put the entire state of Indiana under a blanket tornado warning. This was the first and only time in U.S. history that an entire state was under a tornado warning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Outbreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 KLAF METAR...this would've been the Monticello tornado which passed to the northwest. METAR KLAF 032200Z 16025G33KT 7SM TS SCT040 BKN070 OVC150 23/17 A2914 RMK TB44 W MOVG E LTGIC W-N PRESFRLAF3/16 STATE POLICE RPT AT 2151 5TORNADO SLP864 T02280172 There's been some speculation on what the return rate is for an outbreak like this. Given the relatively short period of better tornado documentation, it's hard to know. 100 years? 200 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewxmann Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Maybe one of the most "perfect" events to have ever come been concocted by the atmosphere in recorded human history. Everything came together just right. If we ever see anything come even close, we ought consider ourselves blessed to watch such meteorological perfection unfold (with all due respect to those who lost homes and loved ones on that day).
