ScottL Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Does anyone find it odd that there are no damage reports yet (that I've seen) with the N Atlanta metro tornado? I would have thought there would have been something by now, esp with the way KFFC is wording their warning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Rotation still looks decent. Alpharetta may have gotten at least a weak tornado looking at the radar, still can't be sure. Cumming, Sugar Hill, Buford, Flowery Branch, Oakwood in the path of the mesocyclone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought there would have been something by now, esp with the way KFFC is wording their warning... Something just doesn't quite look right with that debris signature. The supposed signature is located in an area of low dBZ, which is the opposite of what you would expect. It was much more clear to the west, when it was near Yorkville.

Pathfinder Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Something just doesn't quite look right with that debris signature. The supposed signature is located in an area of low dBZ, which is the opposite of what you would expect. It was much more clear to the west, when it was near Yorkville. Just heard from a coworker who lives in Johns Creek, he said they just had some rain, thunder and lightning, nothing major and he's a weather nerd as well so he would have noticed if something this bad passed over.

SouthernNJ Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 This has been a very difficult storm to track. From my view point, it looks to have shown multiple circulations at times, and the strongest ones keep changing positions. It looked to be powerful west of Dallas, but then has continued to cycle around frequently. Again two possible circulations, one near Flowery Branch, the other moving for Braselton and Hoschton.

audioguy3107 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Unbelievalble view..meso right in front of us....you can see it in the lightning....wind howling but pretty sure nothing on ground or I wouldn't be typing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Are there any new scans of that storm near Suwanee? Looks like the core of the circulation is tracking right along I-85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkhorn Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Knoxville just got hit. I'd say the winds were gusting up to 60mph at my house but there was no hail as far as I could tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy3107 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The southern part of the northern Atlanta supercell passed right over me and Dacula (he's a little to me SW). Wind picked up and has already shifted as the cell is now just off to our NE toward Braselton and Jefferson. It's driving me nuts that it wasn't daytime....those would be some awesome pics. When the lightning flashed, you could see the edge of the mesocyclone. Either weakened significantly or is cycling......definitely not as strong as it was over on the west side of Atlanta. Sorry, a little excited that it passed literally right over our neighborhood.....it's about 2 miles south of I-85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
