outflow Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago More cells firing to the west, might not be a bad idea for a small tor watch from around Gary to near lansing and surrounding areas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torchageddon Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago I haven't seen motion in a MI tornado like that before. The cloud of debris and dust at :37 looks like the condensation part. Fiercer than Dexter and Gaylord! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sups this evening and QLCS later after dark could produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I feel bad for the people effected, but the video with the frozen lake in the foreground is classic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillsdaleMIWeather Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Not one to crap on the spc but kinda baffled they didn't issue a watch. They've shown multiple times they're willing to issue one for lone supercells causing tornadoes but this time just didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartier God Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Could be the first MI violent tornado in nearly 50 years. Tragic to say the least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the 2011 Tuscaloosa–Birmingham tornado or the El Reno tornado in 2013 that everyone hates talking about. Hopefully the injured recover, but my god... I hate those multi-vortex tornadoes that have those "arms." Those are some of the most violent tornadoes out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Today was a fluke, but it goes to show why the new SPC format is flawed trash. The science is currently not good enough and never will be good enough to set a min/max on hail size, wind speed and tor strength in outlooks and MD's. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've shown multiple times they're willing to issue one for lone supercells causing tornadoes but this time just didn't. The coverage is low due to the best forcing lagging farther west (where overnight crapvection muddied things), but I feel like high end potential deserves a watch. Especially in southern Michigan where the population isn’t exactly sparse. The parameters were certainly there for a strong tornado, even if the models weren’t firing convection at that time.

Torchageddon Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Historic MI footage. Near the start you can see some of the ice getting pulled in to the vortex (looks like water with that low res video), another first! Also the longest weather streak I'm aware of may have just ended this afternoon (no confirmed violent tornadoes in MI since 1976 (West Bloomfield F4) or the Augusta 1977 one (unsure)).

luckyweather Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago cold air funnel on my bike ride just now. surreal atmosphere, pockets of dense fog at ground level, would ride through sections where it was like a space heater was blowing on me, and then flip to chilly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Perry Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago This was only about 15 miles south of me and have seen some video from friends and the like, just not good at all. Many missing/unaccounted for, at least 5 confirmed fatalities and just by looking at the video and damage, I would be willing to bet this is a historical Michigan tornado in the EF-3 range. Truly remarkable but horrific at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
