Official Tornado and Runaway Barge Thread

I hope the tornado chopper is put today

 

Broad circulation? About to get our first right turn of the day?

 

Nailed it

 

Yep on the ground outside of Duke.

 

Today isn't going to bust. Bet it's a bad day.

 

Wonder if that storm behind it is gonna interact poorly. Another storm collided with it and killed the tornado

 

This one looks impressive right now

 

I'm the blue Dot. I see storm shelter in my future

 

Yeah, I wouldn't mess around today.

 

Tornado watch in southern KS. Not PDS though, which is strange because that's the high risk area.

 

It is PDS.

 

At least on the front page of the SPC it shows PDS. Watch text doesn't. Change their mind at the last minute? I see the probability for strong tornadoes isn't as high as the OK one

 

That's really weird. They just updated it, text included. Now its PDS with high chances of multiple and strong tornadoes

 

You're right cutig

 

Yeah that was weird. When it was first posted it was either linking to the wrong text, or someone uploaded it wrong. Text itself didn't show PDS initially

 

Starting to see convection initiation in southern KS now. Long day ahead for the warning folks regardless of whether this event translates into a tornado outbreak.

All of these storms will likely produce very large hail - softballs

 

watching KFOR at the moment, anyone have a better option?

 

at least on KFOR, seems like the storms are starting to rotate and split off from the big blob in OK

 

Flying to Dallas in a bit. How are things looking in TX?

 

Where from?

 

I think channel 9 has/had a tornado on the ground NE of Hobart

 

Channel 9 will be David Payne. Channel 5 KOCO will be Damon Lane. Channel 9 streams live web and Facebook.

 

yesssss tornado chopper. I was on the wrong channel this entire time

 

Jim Gardner is in the chopper on News9

 

Woodward under the gun now, wow

 

Channel 9 chopper shots are really sexy right now

 

These guys are really good at getting eyes on their storms. Some fantastic shots

 

also another tornado warning popped. Really starting to get going in OK now

 

Confirmed tornado by Corn, OK.

 

Newark.

 

Seiling, OK tornado is on the ground now.

 

Looks like a big one near chester

 

Wow.. that is a huge one

 

Holy fuck that's violent

 

Calling it EF-3 on air.. cmon now

 

Damnit, Daniel Shaw stopped broadcasting publicly. Can't find his link anymore

 

Boomer

 

Alva, OK needs to watch out. Hopefully that circulation stays to the west of town.

 

Shit is popping off btw I took some pics will post later

 

S cell in OK starting to get some space around it as it moves further E... gonna be some bad news? Looks like it could track towards Stillwater eventually

 

Also KS is popping off now

 

You don't say?
