Chase 2011 - Day 23 Discussion

Horrible to see. Shows you what a mean storm it was if even with 20 minutes there were so many casualties.

SPC have upgraded the potential fro severe weather to moderate (again) after yesterdays 'step-down' to slight. Could be a challenging stormchase around the southern plains as the storms will be scattered but intense by late afternoon. Greatest potential for tornadoes around the southern plains will exist around stalled outflow boundaries as LLS isn't particularly conducive of tornado development.

Very interesting , was worried about the staff that worked there, especially the tiny fellow that helped with the tyre change. He would have stuggled if caught by a strong breeze.
