Damage In Tolland Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 So open areas. OK....I know where you stand now.And you think all those areas all still solid pack right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 And you think all those areas all still solid pack right? It's pretty easy. Anywhere with over 10" will survive. So if it's a spot that only has like 6", then it's probably toast by Saturday. The pack is uneven so you can't just broadbrush without giving numbers.

CoastalWx Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I sometimes feel bad for Kevin. Just when I think I've developed an unhealthy obsession with weather...Kevin posts and I feel much better about myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Nice! Wet-bulbing and dry air for the win haha. Yep, temp dropped quick when the heavier precip moved in. Was outside in a t shirt when the sun was out earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The pack is uneven so you can't just broadbrush without giving numbers. That's the truth haha. Snowpacks from 0-24". This is the time of year if you had all your neighbors tell you how much snow they have, each one would have a different answer lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitinsvilleWX Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I'm never going anywhere near there. Born and raised in OKC. I've seen transformers pop like that. Biggest I've seen is an F4. Several 1 2and 3. I rode a 3 out in a walk in refrigerator in a coffee shop in Stillwater Oklahoma when I was in grad school. Took the roof off an auto parts store next door but thank god my coffee shop lived to pour coffee another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting living in a place where getting hit by a tornado is actually a real possibility. I prefer snow haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Look at how those transformers were popping in circles. It looked like there was a couple different vortices there tooDefinitely. Per that footage, It looked as if there was an enormous circulation that was just starting to get its act together. As the funnel was lowering, it was spinning up several brief vortices along the ground. ...the type of thing that you see before the it becomes a mile wide wedge.Insane power flashes.

I prefer snow haha.I've spent a lot of time in a cellar. Nobody has basements like they do here. Houses are built on slabs. But a lot of people have cellers in the back yard. Concrete or dug out cellers with wood timbers and an earthen top. Ours was concrete with a heavy door that had a chain you could hook to a eye bolt in the floor so a funnel couldn't suck the door off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitinsvilleWX Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Yeah, no thanks.Sounds worse than it is. Truth is, it's not that a common occurrence in any particular area. I've seen more than I've actually been worried about. Most of the time when I spent time in the celler was before they had widespread Doppler and my grandmother dragged us to the celler. Now you can see where they are down to the block. I will say the one I rode out in the walk in fridge did worry me a little. I could here it come right over the restaurant. Part of the noise were the air handlers coming off the roof of the building next door and the glass coming out of the building I was in. About 25 years ago, my step dad was caught in one north of OKC in his car. Picked it up, threw him in the ditch, blew the glass out of the car,. Cut him up a little, left him muddy and banged up, but he was ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Whenever I try to follow the technical side of severe outbreaks, I feel like I don't know the first thing about meteorology. It may be that convection isn't any more intricate than dynamic processes. I sure have a hard time with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 When I was a toddler my parents lived in central IL with no basement. Not OKC, but still pretty frequent tornadoes. They had an arrangement to use a neighbor's for tornado warnings which happened from time to time. We'd run outside in bad weather to join them in the basement. I called it "tomato party" because I guess I couldn't say tornado at that stage and they called it a party probably to lighten the mood for the kids.
