Severe Threat May 15-16, 2025

What's crazy to me too is that you rarely see tornadoes that visually look like that kill so many people. Most of those mega-deadly tornadoes (Vilonia, Mayfield, Beareguard) were all wedges. This one was just a violent drillbit.
 


Not sure if this video has been posted yet, but it is from the London KY tornado. Looks like it captures the approach to I-75 and the audible roar is present for the last half of the video. Edit, this is the extended version of the video posted by Coldfront.

STOP with the political posts. Just stop. I know some of you are passionate about the weather and politics but trying to interject political views during a major severe weather event is not appropriate. Take it to off topic, take it to private messages, start a blog, I don’t care but STOP. I’m not deleting the reports from last night at this time as I want a couple of the other moderators to see them
as well, but did I mention to STOP? Stop derailing threads or you might just find yourself on the outside looking in.

easily the best video I’ve seen of it in London. Has that Cullman-like funnel tilt and vortex condensation break down. That roar too.

The sound of croaking frogs amidst the distant roar of a monstrous tornado is just something else. Other-worldly, despite being so inherently Terrestrial. Nothing captures that terrible power violent twisters have like that violent roar.

I hadn’t seen this version, thanks for sharing it!

I am curious why WLKY titled the video that it was “forming”. The CC drop was really consistent from a little west of Somerset to almost Manchester, KY. I believe it was on the ground the entire time, and the video just captures the condensation funnel condensing and breaking down again but I think the wind field was consistent.

I think it's just classic reporter misunderstanding. From the unfamiliar eye it'd be easy to assume that the tornado wasn't down until the clear, conical funnel was visible.
 
Does anyone have an update on that Morganfield tornado? I feel like that one was the talk of the town before the Somerset demon.
