Something indeed happened in swath from Rayenden, Imboden, College City. Likely a small tornado. Previous collage I posted on screen grabs are, again, a case study. Top picture was a shelf cloud reported as the large tornado. Bottom 2 pictures were screen grabs from a video going around Twitter that the media is sharing. That video is from December (thank you to MNstorms). Really think this situation needs to be assessed and reviewed by the NWS. Some serious changes need to happen going forward….inexcusable to throw a Tornado Energency for a scud bomb. Huge hail caused traffic disturbances for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not hail damage. Unfortunately we are all farting in the wind since there’s no video evidence to support 4in hail and a large tornado. Daylight will reveal what indeed happened. But I suspect this was NOT straight line winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricaneman Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It definitely didn’t look like a large tornado but could have been quite intense based on the tossing of vehicles and a destroyed business like a high end ef2 to ef3 but we’ll see what daylight shows to determine it’s intensity. the size doesn’t tell the strength like look at the 150ft wide f5 tornado in Manitoba in 2007 and vise versa where I’ve seen wide tornadoes that have been underwhelming fortunately like ef2 or less 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rural area, limited radar support, spotters are normally pretty unreliable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
