Severe WX Severe Weather Threat - December 8th-10th, 2023

[TH2002]

Tornado in the Raleigh, NC metro area

Beat me to it

Very rain embedded tornado too, doubt it's going to be visible

 

[Equus]

Wouldn't be shocked if some of the Homewood etc damage was related to a small tornado embedded somewhere; definitely a small bowing/downburst type signature on velocity but there was briefly a small couplet and that section of QLCS had a history of trying to spin something up. Either way lots of snapped trees, very intense wind in that area

Hearing of possible tornado damage reported near the intersection of State Road 2710 and Timber Drive in Garner, NC. Not sure how severe.

EF2 damage has been confirmed southwest of Russellville, KY, possibly from the same tornado that struck Clarksville.

So it quite likely we’ll see 2 maybe 3 EF3 rated tornadoes from this event…

There was a car flipped in the parking lot at the Hampton Inn on Lakeshore Drive in Homewood. Yep, probably small tornado.

I knew something was up in James Spanns live coverage when people in the comments kept saying something was happening in homewood. Was waiting on the morning pictures. Definitely looks like they got pounced by a tornado.

 

[Equus]

Nadocast did rather well

 

[JBishopwx]

EF-1 in Gibson County, TN

 

[Mike S]

150mph EF-3 preliminary rating in Clarksville

Really haven’t heard much out of Hendersonville, as of now, damage doesn’t look catastrophic thankfully all things considered. Hopefully it stays that way.

 

[cincywx]

kinda looks like it "interacts" / "reacts" to the massive plume of combustion smoke

 

[tornado examiner]

D.a.t updates for this event coming out fast

 

[Clancy]

[Equus]

Well there we go, definitely makes sense seeing the concentration of rather significant tree damage and the car being flipped. Hard to warn for those QLCS spin ups but there was at least a pretty decent history of rotation on that segment

 

[MichelleH]

Does anyone know how bad the damage was at Samford?

 

[CheeselandSkies]

What happened at Hendersonville brings a whole new meaning to the term "pyrotornado."
