Severe Threat May 15-16, 2025

[AJS]

Scott county, 2 fatalities in the county.

Much appreciated! Trying to find out more about what happened in that area.

Does anyone have an update on that Morganfield tornado? I feel like that one was the talk of the town before the Somerset demon.

From what I have seen, it hit the southern, more rural part. But completely destroyed multiple homes. No fatalities from what I have seen. Same cell wiped homes off their foundations in Illinois, too.

Gotcha. Glad to help @AJS

Also still shocked this visible tornado in daylight killed people:.

We also had two fatalities in the DC area, both from trees falling on cars.

This is one of the worst tornado scars through a forest I've ever seen @buckeye05.

Oh. My. Word. West of London, KY

This is one of the worst tornado scars through a forest I've ever seen @buckeye05.

Reminds me of Bassfield. I’m praying residences weren’t hit throughout that forested area.

Crap.

Trees bottom center right of the shot look completely nubbed and debarked, obviously hard to tell for sure so high up.

reminds me of the scar the Barnesville, GA EF3 left on 4/27/11

You’re exactly right. I have family in Somerset and I texted them last night when that CC drop happened to the west. They were aware they were under a “warning” but no sirens were going off or anything and not even aware it was on the ground. I felt confident enough that it was on the ground to tell them that. It was in a tricky radar hole and it took NWS Jackson a while to move it to observed, but like you said, it was dark and a live stream would’ve done more than a text based warning

Years ago I asked my co workers where we would go if a tornado showed up. This was no idle matter as one did occur in a nearby part of Maryland. Not only were they apathetic but they were very unaware of weather, especially considering they worked outside.

I am very interested in birds and tornadoes, among other things. A tornado fascinates me and seeing an oriole makes my whole week. Most people are not like us - weather, or birds, are very incidental to them.

Well there’s your debris ball/CC drop source, my goodness

This really reaffirms my belief it peaked between the two cities.
