Severe WX Severe Weather 4/11 - 4/15

The ground angle shows anchor bolts. How long was the tornado on the ground? I was in a meeting while it was happening.

It was relatively short lived and spit out by a sloppy HP blob of convection. But yes the subfloor and joists are partially removed, and I see at least some type of bolts or anchoring mechanisms present.

The scans I have screenshots of range from 3:39 to 3:52 PM, could have been on the ground for five or so minutes longer, give or take.

Union Center has to be one of the weirder tors I've seen. Also seems like the only tornado to come out of that supercell.

114 years ago to the minute, Titanic struck the iceberg.

The Venn diagram of tornado and titanic enthusiasts has to be pretty close to a circle I'd imagine. Just went to the museum last month and rewatched the movie last week. Your post is hitting different right now. Especially cuz I'm all snuggly in bed with the AC cranked. Can't imagine having to get up and plunge into the ice cold Atlantic in two and a half hours D:

Let the tornado damage drama begin! Lol

Union Lake has to be one of the weirder tors I've seen. Also seems like the only tornado to come out of that supercell.

Union lake/Union City was the one earlier in march no? This one was Union center

In my defense it was very easy to mix up.

It's an EF5.... LOL!

NWS La Crosse will be surveying. I always thought they handled Boscobel pretty liberally, so that’s something to consider.

Lillian Asplund, the last survivor with actual memories of the disaster, was from Worcester and lived there until 1951, two years before the infamous F4/F5. So that's... something?

Of course Oklahoma gets a tornado warning after the SPC cancels the watch early. SPC can’t win down there.

Can not believe there is no TORR for a tornado down in a populated area, even if it's not particularly strong.

edit: nevermind, confirmed now

If union center was rated as an f4 it would be the first violent tornado in Wisconsin since oakfield 1996 (and the first violent tornado in Wisconsin under the EF scale)

Dang it’s not at outbreak with a final after sunset ramp up I guess. Michigan might get a sigtor after all,
