True, i guess both events had some sort of main aspect to them. The nocturnal supercell in OK/KS Thursday and the violent tornado in Union City yesterday.

"possible tornado" with a clear TDS and velocity signature that was PDS warned along with significant damage to homes? Ugh
..

60+ mph damaging wind likely south of Cadiz, KY. I expect sporadic damaging wind and QLCS circulations throughout the next few hours of this line.

This is why some states are considering requiring storm chasers to get licenses. Just idiotic and reckless.

We might have some cells trying to pop up in eastern Ohio. Cant tell if theyll do anything but I'll keep an eye out.

These were not dryline storms, these were OWS storms and probably wouldn't have matured regardless. The subsidence saved us from a potent problem at play

EF experts?
I distinctly remember either a tweet posted in here, or it may have been Ryan Hall’s stream, that stated those two cells formed in the vicinity of the dryline bulge.
I haven’t actually went back and looked where the dryline was though in proximity to those cells when they fired.

The dryline was west of Wichita by a good bit. Pretty sure if you check back on Hunter Fowkes replies that someone said the dryline fired, he outlined where the dryline was and these two cells were a good 25-35 miles off it so I don't believe this was associated with the dryline.

Union City is the strongest tornado to hit Southern Michigan in a bit. Hopefully, the office does a London approach and does a deep dive into this to ensure it gets the rating it properly deserves. Absolutely a violent tornado
Rating I’m expecting: High-end EF3
My opinion on the actual intensity: EF4, and possibly even high-end EF4 if the muddy ground we saw was actually all from scouring. I’d need definitive confirmation on that before I make such a bold call though.

Union city rated 150mph EF3 based on initial assessment

I Assume initial assessment means a preliminary rating?

Yes. It is very likely to change as they haven’t yet been able to survey the whole path yet.
