This is a terrifying beast that we're dealing with here, everyone!

It’s not often the tornado is a visible eye on radar

Is that another area of rotation developing over Greensburg with this scan?

"It's gonna go right into Greensburg."
-KSN

This does not appear to be true based on radar

That’s exactly what I just noticed.

 

[treypops]

I hope so.

It can't get any closer without hitting it.

If it was done 10-15 minutes ago, I don't hate it, but like while this thing is a mile out, HORRENDOUS idea.

 

[Equus]

We are safely east of town proper now, imo

First responders are getting out of town, they're not evacuating people out of the town, from my understanding. That makes sense to me.

Usually you'd need a mobile radar to see that kind of feature or have the radar be dangerously close to the tornado!

I think Greensburg just dodged a huge bullet there.

Let's all pray that this is indeed the case tonight!

 

[AJS]

This supercell is unfortunately very healthy though. Definitely not done with this cell for tonight.

Horrendous idea IMO. People are better off staying and sheltering in most cases. This is only gonna get more people hurt and killed if people are out on the road driving when it hits.

 

[Clancy]

Now affirmingly east of town center. Thank god.

 

[US_Highway15]

If that guy from Frisco TX is still here, yall should be fine. Rotation didn't pick up thankfully. It's gonna go north of town. At most, probably a microburst or a brief spin up tornado if anything did form.
