Severe Weather Threat May 17-19, 2025

[Grand Poo Bah]

Plotted a straight line from Luka, KS to where the storm is now, and here are some potential structures that were in the path.

Basically just some oil wells and farmsteads.




A power substation or maybe just irrigation sprinklers? I hope this feed yard got missed because it has about a million cows




I've reach the image limit but the only thing left was another few farmsteads and a cell tower. I honestly can't believe how lucky we got with the two tornadoes this cell produced not hitting anything. Definitely reminds me of May 24, 2011 with the strength of those beasts.

So far I've seen 3 different 'Before' houses for the same pile of rubble.

people are itching for the forbidden rating

Feeling like after looking at some

The day two outlook has a large 10 hatch for tornadoes over the midsouth, didn't see that coming

One last hurrah for this area..?

New day 1 is pretty strongly worded.

May was so quiet and now it’s all being squeezed out into 6 days. I stand corrected. Didn’t think it would go ffom 0 to 60…

Strong tornadoes now being worded for new day 2 … expanded enhanced is big one now … surely moderate is coming eventually

Obv in a potent pattern. Today and tomorrow could be ugly the way things been going. At a loss for words witnessing greensburg storm 2025 version. The ef3 in St. Louis killing 5, the EF4 in IL, the Kentucky tornado killing 19 which is the most a tornado has killed since TN 2020.

Yes both Monday and now Tuesday look rough … between the two days a high risk is not at the realm of possibility eventually at some point

High risk ey?

High risk ey?

These next two days are going be interesting see how
Short range cams. Models hint at ….

 

[Kds86z]

Oklahomas turn today?

 

[N0mz]

Oklahomas turn today?

Possibly. Parameters are even higher, but still to see if we seem some discrete hogs. I can't stress enough how lucky/unlucky that random supercell was to appear out of nowhere in a pristine airmass.

Yeah as SPC mentions lots of storms etc, more than today. However potent parameters..

DFW's in a 10% TOR risk + the dreaded black marker.
Three weeks ago the metroplex got spared because of that morning 'Forrest Gump Vietnam downpour' as I called it.
But from what I remember local meteorologist saying, the storms will be coming in around 4PM or so.

Unsure of any failure modes and that slow moving supercell last night which hit Gordon, TX, came through a Slight Risk area with a 5% TOR for it.

The Plevna church where the residents took refuge in the basement is still standing. Back left of the picture. Looks like the home to the east of it survived, too.

 

[Anti-Freeze]

Auditorium survived, too.
