That's a very bad tornado. A violent velocity couplet with a deep debris ball.

We have a violent tornado in progress just south of Marion, IL. A debris ball just blew up on reflectivity.

We might see a tornado emergency with this shortly

This is the worst case scenario storm that was on the cards for today...

Not often you see a radar presentation like this. Probably a violent tornado ongoing.

Debris ball just got bigger!

This violent tornado is going to pose a threat to Harrisburg, IL, a town that’s already been hit once before by a violent tornado back in 2012

Looks like the Federal Prison may have taken a direct hit and there are a lot of homes on large lots south of Marion

 

[Equus]

That's got all the hallmarks of a super high end tornado, yeesh

[DanLarsen34]

This is easily the most violent tornado signature I’ve seen all year. There is nothing to impede this cell either, so this might be a considerably long-tracked one on top of that.
