Was a 133kt bin on that Glen Elder tornado at 0.9º tilt a scan or two ago, which is ~5500 ft. Yikes.

You can literally tell from just the picture that it has violent rotation. Just the way it looks with the contrast from good plains topsoil and daylight filtering in from beside it.

It actually looks like the station is spitting out bad data, it keeps cutting out and rolling over into weird values.
Looks like the Manchester, SD tornado of 2004!

Lead storm appears to have gone outflow dominant, as the hook has reversed its direction and isn't wrapping around the supposedly very powerful rotation. This is just further making me believe the station has some sort of issue.

The velocities on that tornado were insane. What a severe season we're having.

Storm SW of Kansas City has massive potential as well... big time Kansas cells there

Amazing what a more cooperative Pacific (severe wx speaking) will do. We have had a PDO this close to neutral since 2012/2013...

This can happen with very intense tornadoes. Greensburg, KS comes to mind. It's line the velocity product can't resolve the winds in a particular bin due to intensity. I don't think it is the radar because even though it is looking much higher up, Topeka was showing G2G of nearly 190mph as well.

Lawrence is about to be in serious trouble. The rotation has intensified and tightened up quite a bit.
