OMFG.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Oh no!

Omfg he keeps saying "hopefully it goes east of Waterloo". There's nothing east of there BUT DENSE SUBDIVISIONS! Can he read a map??

 

[Clancy]

Via KETV.

 

[notsoencrypted]

Oh, the debris on the newscast

 

[172556]

Tornado is about to make a direct hit on a huge subdivision, fire station, and school.

Edit: looks like it may have passed just west.

He can't, that's always the problem with him.... But everyone kisses his you know what.

It’s so frustrating he keeps saying it could miss Waterloo even though it’s literally already inside the damn town.

 

[SmokeEater]

202 knot couplet at 300 feet!!! 58% chance of EF4-EF5!

 

[cincywx]

The velocity couplet is no longer registering on my GR2.

insane to have no return that close to the radar. must have been some very strong winds in the center of that.

 

[Tanner]

Not to pre-rate, but if I've ever seen an EF4 or EF5 on radar before, this is it.

 

[TH2002]

No words.

Not really, the area between there and elkhorn is pretty rural. Thats clearly where he’s hoping for it to go.

Well it didn't...

 

[buckeye05]

Debris falling from the sky in Omaha metro

 

[Taylor Campbell]

 

[lake.effect]

Extremely violent. EF5.

 

[Clancy]

Yeah, you could actually see that neighborhood in the NW corner of Elkhorn on KETV as the tornado was (at best) grazing it.

 

[buckeye05]

WHY IS HE COVERING KANSAS?!

 

[TH2002]

Can only hope now that the tornado's proximity to the radar site made it look worse than it actually was. But now hearing chasers reporting debris falling from the sky, so it's not looking good...
