I have never seen anything like this before. this is crazy. god I hope the people in Hamilton are ok.
-
No problem : )
They just said the Cullman one has demolished houses and they reckon it could possibly be an EF3!
Thank you so much. Reports tornado in Hamilton AL now. Tornado Emergency issued for Hamilton.

Stormsqaud sare chasing the same twister on here http://chase.tornado...ges/full_screen
Another cell has popped up behind it now
Thank you got it working! Jeeez this really doesn't look good for those people. The radar returns on that storm looks insane.

I'm not impressed can not get the ABC 33/40 stream to work no matter what I do. Can NOT believe I am missing this.

Halfmile wide tornado just hit SW side of Philadelphia MS.

This one is from tupelo, ms and is covering the Union County storm near New Albany. Not much in the way of spotters out.
Thank you. The WTVA presenter sounds pretty stern and a little bit freaked. Really doesn't look too good for these poor people.

Anyone have a live stream for local Tv?

There are rumours flying around that a tornado hit Huntsville, AL. Not sure where its come from but one news report updated an hour ago says there has been fatalities in the same area Not sure how trust worthy this is though

Yep a 'get out of gaol (jail!) free card' was played by Mother Nature last night. Brett Adair was making similar comments on the audio feed last night. All the parameters were in place but the 'slowtation' was not tightening-up and the tornadoes never formed. Good news for many living in TX, AR, MS and KY last night.
Today is a different matter: again all the parameters are in place but the jet seems stronger so it may prove worse than yesterday for the inhabitants in the high probability area.
Yesterday was a long chase day from Marshal to Shreveport and then North to Memphis, where I spent a virtual night. Today I think I shall sit it out as the activity is further East in poor chase terrain - I saw the landscape on Brett Adair's stream last night and it was truly awful for chasing. Will probably take a rest day and head back down to Texarkana and see what transpires. If nothing, then a cold beer and a day's recovery before meeting up with the Tour 1 boys........if only.........
Things weren't really tightening up last night so I went to bed, the flu filled brain of mine switched off. I'm looking at the radar now and theres around four tornado warned storms at the moment along that line from AL to TS. I'm not too sure waht I should be looking for with these set ups. Sure when it comes to descrete supercells I've done enough reading up to know what to look for on the radar but now its just...a big sqally mess.

Ooops Ric Burney has run into some trouble - JCB Anyone ??
Gah that must be so fustrating for him!
According to Reed Timmers twitter he just intercepted. Not sure where though.

Funnel cloud spotted just S of Canton TX.
-
Tornado E of Garret.

Storm near Holly as well looks good but that storm near Star City really looks to be strengthening on the high res local radar. If there isn't a tornado on the ground there I really would be shocked. Massive hail with these storms though it really is scary imagine one of those through your house roof. Forrest City storm looks good as well, hail and a little hook on it as well...I'm not sure the chances of a tornado on it though?
EDIT: Tornado warning for storm in due south of Hollis headed for Perryvile
-
Really don't fancy what Brett Adair is doing, the trees are HUGE on his stream and he's right in the middle of that in AR
I THINK he is attempting to punch the core, looks like he's aiming for the hook. Good luck to the guy the storm has reported Tennis ball size hail. New tornado warning in W AR in Logan & Scot County. Hope the people in Star City are ok, the storm looks right on top of them.
-
Sorry if this has been posted. But WFAA are on the South Dallas Storm. http://www.wfaa.com/...o-70231852.html
Thank you for the link =D Nice hook echo, good looking storm. I also love the fact there is somewhere called Midlothian in TX.

Incredible View of the rock hard Updraught on the Cam Now
Jeez the sky is pitch black, its surreal. Nice classic looking wall cloud as well, I'm gonna be really suprised if this storm doesn't drop a tornado soon.
Storm N of Camden AR now tornado warned.
-
Tornado warning for the cell S of Dallas! =D
-
I would say "Yes" looking at the radar on it.
Apparently years of lurking this thread has paid off. I can't see it being long before its tornado warnedl.
-
Just me or does it look like the storm near Little Rock has a small hook on the SW side of it? Also STStorm Warning has been extended & Cell W of Union TS STStorm Warned. Jeez place is starting to look like a Christmas Tree.

Looks like it's kicking off now, cell gone up just east of Meridian, south of Fort Worth:

*Jumps in, makes bed, opens red bull and prepairs for a long night*
I swear this year I will post in here and controbute - *is done lurking and stalking* convection seems to be kicking off now, a few speckles on the radar. Should b e a good night provided nothing hits a populated area.

Very Very Very Linear already though, pretty to look at with the Gust Fronts etc but not discrete enough, that might change of course, something popping in C Misery as well now.

*pops in to thread for a moment*
I've never quite worked out why linearity in storms like this is bad?

Media now reporting that the death toll from the last three days is 45 with more expected. Really is amazing whats happened over 241 confirmed tornados withthe final count not yet in across 14 states. This week now takes the crown as the biggest tornado outbreak in living memory surpassing the 74 superoutbreaks.
Some really amazing info here: NOAA anlaysis information Including links to radar shots and damage survays here NWS Jackson Miss. storm reports and analysis
Storm reports for the last two days 15th and 16th Ratings and damage analysis are expected within the next 48hours.
