just spent 30 minutes in the interior stairwell here at FSU. It's past campus now. We are hearing two touch downs, one at the community college just west and one down at the airport (that knocked out the radar). Both within 3-4 miles of my office.
They’ll say the error was the wind estimate was supposed to read 160mph and correct it. They ain’t admitting they missed upgrading a tornado to damn near an EF-5 no matter what.
Dumb question: how is this different from the El Reno tornado? Isn’t that rated an F3 too based on damage?
I feel like this spring/early summer will be magical for storms. After the first winter in the midwest in years, I am ready for this.
Yeah, damage indicated ef3... Likely only cause it didn't hit much. Mobile doppler radar confirmed ef5 winds, but NWS headquarters wouldn't let the local office use that. I've probably said it here before, but I believe more of these tornadoes are likely stronger than the damage would indicate. You get all of these little vortices in the stronger tornadoes, and unless it hits a well-built structure, it will likely be under-rated
Looks like we might need to step up our game here. https://www.sciencealert.com/for-the-first-time-a-plasma-hurricane-has-been-detected-in-space
Models are backing way off on snow totals, but central Nebraska is going to get a ton of rain it looks like.
There's a misconception that a lot of students wash out because of calculus/dynamics, but it's really because they can't draw dicks in myriad shapes. It's so key and is in met 101
