Severe Threat May 15-16, 2025

[AJS]

Manchester, KY needs to be on high alert if this thing stays on the ground.

 

[Taylor Campbell]

Storm behind this one is getting that look too.

I think that one is on the ground now.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Oh no....I have no words for this.....

 

[OH-IOan]

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure why they didn’t call this a tornado emergency? I think the Vrot and CC requirements were met. It may not have made a direct impact on downtown London, but there were several subdivisions hit by this tornado.

I've heard something about them needing authorization from a higher-up, which doesn't exist given the massive staffing cuts. Could be wrong, though.

Important to keep in mind “mass casualty” does not automatically mean mass fatalities.

 

[AJS]

Training supercell has the potential to do something similar.

Donut hole on reflectivity!

Oh no....I have no words for this.....

Isn’t this normal procedure for damage from a storm? Don’t think it means confirmed.

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

imma just leave this here......

Twitter rumors of fatalities in the Somerset area

Oh no....I have no words for this.....

OMG!!!!

Sounds like a “mass casualty” event in Somerset, KY. Good lord….

I know it's not confirmed that there are mass fatalities, but that isn't ever shown for just ANY tornado.

The cell that’s training over the path of the lead cell that’s now east of Somerset has really ramped as well in recent scans…

 

[Maxis_s]

Did I miss everything again? I went out to see some auroras and I come back to another PDS.

 

[mariachi507]

C'mon man, surely it's not getting the Tanner '74 treatment.

 

[AJS]

The cell behind it actually has downtown London in its path.

That convection behind it is probably fueling it too. Not a good sign

It’s really ramping up.

 

[Ozonelayer]

Wym?

From what I've seen, those are issued for whenever there is catastrophic damage. Like, homes completely leveled and all that jazz. Its been consistent with that for the past few years.

It is so crazy how only 6 counties are under tornado warnings in Kentucky but has been a hot bed for intense to violent tornadoes.
