I'm saying!! Absolutely terrifying and beautiful all from the same scope!

 

[Clancy]

Guess it latched onto the warm front?

Appears to be exactly the case.

BWER on reflectivity?

 

[Tanner]

Anyone with radar, if you look up in tilt you can see a separate rotation displaced from the main one south and east. Likely attempting a recycle and another tornado here.

Occluded a few minutes ago, but looks like it could put down at any time. And that velocity is not to be trifled with.

 

[TornadoFan]

Looks like the couplet is tightening up again.

 

[Clancy]

Some absolutely monster hail occurring tonight as well.

 

[TornadoFan]

Storm to the NE of this one just went tornado warned. Starting to really crank.

 

[Clancy]

Both now warned.

Wicked

 

[CheeselandSkies]

I had kind of stopped paying attention to today's severe threat given that I expected it to be mainly a nocturnal hail event; glad I hopped on here and caught up with this thread in time to load up GR Level 3 and save these insane radar images.

 

[TornadoFan]

That Rossville storm now has the look.

Damaging tornado in Rossville!

 

[TornadoFan]

Southern storm is getting another hook.. Still too close to the radar to see anything meaningful.

 

[TH2002]

CC drop northeast of Rossville

 

[TornadoFan]

NVM. It's northwest of Topeka.

Was the KTWX radome damaged? That's a lot of noise on the west side
