  1. Nice briefing, although I was waiting for Paul to yell "WAKE UP!!!" at the end lol
  2. That's not what I was hoping to read or hear about, but sadly it's just one of things that is likely to happen in a tornado outbreak event like this.
  3. I was thinking the same thing. Alot of the damage looks to have been around EF2/EF3, but as you say there are definitely spots with damage that looks to be around Mod-Strong EF4, especially since some houses shown on Sky5 have been leveled, which is pretty intense. I really hope in all my heart that there has been no fatalities anywhere from today's tornado outbreak.
  4. Hey Ian I'm glad to hear you guys are ok and that you guys bagged a few trunks and a wedge today, well done guys. I was wondering roughly how big that wedge tornado was because on the radar it looked as though it was close to a mile wide or more at 1 point, as the radar image of the hook blob, litterally had a very well defined 'eye' in it's core and so I couldn't help thinking that it must've been a monster. I just heard that there is a tornado that is still on the ground in OK somewhere and has been for about an hour now, definitely a hectic day already and it'll be interesting to find out just how many touchdowns there have been by the end of the day.
  5. The amount of tornado reports so far is crazy and yet, it's still early in the evening. I hope the guys are ok and are staying safe as they're out on the road.
  6. Yes, I lost the live stream connection also, but hopefully it'll return soon
  7. Ahh, no worries pal :lol: from what I breifly saw on Mike Phelps' live stream of that monster wedge that was beginning to form, coupled with the Nexrad radar images of the hook, it wouldn't surprise me if there was a nasty large wedge tornado that has been responsible for some of that damage, but unfortunately without confirmation of whether this would be the case, this view is nothing more than a guess at this point. Hopefully there'll be some more confirmation of the damage locations and toughdown locations as the day (Night for us all in the UK & Ireland) rolls on.
  8. No worries John, I'm glad you guys are back onto the main highways again and have got your connection back :lol: It looks like the cell you guys are at it's beginning to weaken somewhat, but I could be wrong
  9. EDIT - the GPS has finally updated again :lol: The team are doing great so far, having bagged 2 tornadoes so far already and I suspect they may very well get another 1 or 2 yet, but only time and the weather will tell
  10. Wahay , thank you for the heads up Louise Edit - it looks like the team are blasting S on I35 to that tornado warned cell that is W of Fairfax, OK
  11. Tornado warning just issued to the cell near I35 to the S of the Newkirk County cell, which is one of the cells I mentioned earlier.
