Severe Weather 3/9 - 3/12

Not often you see a day where there was a significant wind, hail, and tornado threat that pretty much all verified to some degree. Not saying it's anywhere near the same level, but this storm in northern Indiana is similar to the Tri-State supercell in some ways. Just absolutely going bonkers on the warm front.
I had that exact same thought earlier. If you imagine a Mayfield like configuration directly anchored to the warm front, you can see how something like Tri State could last as long as it did.
 
This cell is feeding off a pretty high end environment. No nudgers required. I know Nixon’s research shows purely discrete supercells often don’t produce tornados, when an environment is as overwhelming and pristine as this, it doesn’t matter.
This is genuinely incredible to watch from a meteorological perspective. There hasn't been a cell pumping out intense tornadoes this consistently in a LONG while. Very pristine nocturnal environment and when you juice that with the WF, it's a tornado machine.
