I don't think I've ever seen a watch issued for an intended total of 95 minutes. Fascinating.

A cyclonic tornado forming on the back of an anticyclonic tornado AND another circulation north of that.

Dude, my mind can’t handle this.

It’s a tornado party…that no one can see…r.i.p

 

[TornadoFan]

I...am I dreaming right now? This has to be a dream right?

 

[atrainguy]

I'd be freaking terrified if I lived in Grandfield, Loveland or Chattanooga right now.

Basically we have a tornado carousel ongoing

 

[Tanner]

Tornado rave party!

 

[Clancy]

Appears there may have been a brief and weak TDS on that... uhm... counter-cyclonic tornado?

 

[TornadoFan]

I'm fairly certain Oklahoma has been taking trolling lessons from Iowa.

 

[jiharris0220]

I don’t like how this is heading south towards me.

how good is the environment? Is this cell gonna continue or die out rapidly?

 

[Clancy]

The original storm is back.

 

[Maxis_s]

This is absolutely nuts. Probably going down in the history books... again.

Considering they issued a watch, it'll last.

I think Mother Nature is letting out her frustrations. Maybe she's struggling with nightmares and intrusive thoughts too.

Don't we all!

its mesmerizing watching the radar loop and seeing the boundary slither onwards and yank the storm back with it.

 

[Clancy]

The anticyclonic tornado is now very close to Grandfield.

 

[Tanner]

Tractors probably got sent into the shadow realm

Tornado Alley realized Dixie Alley was starting to steal its thunder and is over compensating.
