snowisgood Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 This is absolutely unreal. These debris balls are disgusting. Kudos to the NWS for being on the with the warnings. I hope this thing weakens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indystorm Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 When was the last time we had this large a metro area hit by a major tornado near midnight? Unbelievable! I recall the Evansville night time tornado but that was much smaller population than the heart of metro Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailMan06 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Looking at the radar there is still a lot of inflow for this supercell to feed on. It's likely just cycling unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchaumburgStormer Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 looks like it cycled. Reflectivity looks good for cycling, velocity really doesn't. Hopefully the monster doesn't pop back up on the next velocity scan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKStormFan Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 As a question guys, where does this outbreak rank so far. I mean from a beginners outlook and a distant - lacking knowledge standpoint, would it be fair to say this is quite a widespread outbreak, of the likes that may be seen a couple of times per season, but won't go down as one of 'THEE' marquee outbreaks in US storm history?
