Agreed. "an EF3+ tornado could occur"? An EF3+ tornado is currently ongoing.

Yeah. I don’t know why they said “strong tornado” possible. It’s obviously violent.

oh god Plevna better pray they're not cored

Plevna might not be a town anymore. I genuinely think we’re looking at a tornado stronger than an EF4. And I can be conservative.

Abbyville will probably be east of the tornado but Plevna is looking closer and closer. Tiny target but big tornado

Pink has shown up in the debris ball

220mph GTG. One of the most violent tornadoes, if not THE most, of the decade.

[vemir]

not to be disrespectful, but this may be the one

G2g I have clocked now at 226 MPH. Unreal.

 

[snostorm21]

Plevna about to get hit

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

That is the biggest debris ball, and the worst velocity signature i've ever seen.

I don’t like to make assumptions or anything, but this is legit what an EF5-caliber tornado looks like on radar. God forbid this thing impacts a population center, the results will be absolutely catastrophic and in the dead of night will likely catch residents off guard.

Plevna is going to be gone…

 

[Keldeo]

240 MPH G2G!!!!

 

[slenker]

You're right. I've never seen a debris signature this large for 30+ minutes. This will be a historic tornado, without question.

Super rare for plains monsters to not only be this consistently violent, but also be on the ground for this long. I’m shocked it is still chugging along with zero signs of occlusion or anything like that.

At a very minimum high-end EF4.

 

[zath]

Over 2 mile wide debris ball... Plevna, KS is about to be absolutely enveloped.

 

[Brice W]

This is definitely the worst looking tornado since Bassfield.
