CAPE Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Very impressive thunder, but sort of in between the main line and another developing cell congealing just to my SE for now. 0.40" so far Glad I got that unexpected storm on Monday that produced just under an inch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted 50 minutes ago Share Posted 50 minutes ago Couple of observations: 1.) Solid call by SPC on the tornado watch upgrade. Looks like the 18z IAD RAOB came in and they went "oh boy". 2.) Too many chuds on social media think they know better than the nerds in Oklahoma. 3.) The video coming out of Kent County, DE are impressive. Looks like a legit tornado went right by Dover Air Force Base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortex95 Posted 44 minutes ago Share Posted 44 minutes ago 1 minute ago, CAPE said: Great video, but can Timmer please stop inventing hype words for wx -- "water trumpet?" I storm chased most years 1992-2016 and know many in the storm chase community, and I have never heard a tornado or waterspout put that way. Cheesy media hype nonsense. Put a different label on something common/mundane to "sell" it more. And really, mets and wx enthusiasts can figure out easy what "water trumpet" means, but the general public? Some will go, "is that a new wx phenomena!?" And such can work it way into mainstream media. I recall on WTOP they used "rain bomb" one time to describe a tstm heavy rain event, and I cringed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted 43 minutes ago Share Posted 43 minutes ago A few photos of the line approaching. This was right about the time Dover was potentially getting rocked by a tornado. Also nudged this guy off the road. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I am surprised it was that visible given the strong HP nature of the supercell there, but if you get real close right up in the inflow notch, you can spot HP tors, but it is often very risky. I wonder if anyone got video of the DOV tor. Same deal. "Almost" a "wedge!" I say that in jest b/c many like stating a tor is a wedge even when it isn't!
