3/3/2019 has a similar westerly 500mb flow but had a much more “traditional” look so to say. Shortwave kicking out of the Southern Plains with subtle forcing over the warm sector.

Hearing Tennessee EMA spokesperson has raised the toll to 28 with 200+ injured... Cookeville will probably surpass Beauregard

By all accounts of what I’m hearing from people there...it’s bad. Very bad.

Looks like this one might have outperformed even the impressive strength suggested by the radar data.

I’d be really surprised if this wasn’t rated EF4.

I’d be really surprised if this wasn’t rated EF4.

Same I was thinking EF3 earlier but that was before the worst of the Cookeville damage started coming out. I'm thinking EF4 now.

Insane amount of damage from the Cookeville, TN tornado.

A couple of ratings are in.

A couple of ratings are in.

This doesn’t make sense. 125-130 MPH isn’t within the EF3 bracket.

Toll now at 25, from earlier estimations of 22 and 28. Cookeville still unrated but every picture coming out of there looks more and more apocalyptic.

This Cookeville home appears to be a slider, but still, clean slab





Social media is brimming with reports and photos

Seeing pictures of some of the families and kids rolling into twitter who perished last night in Cookeville. It's absolutely heartwrenching.

 

[warneagle]

77 people still unaccounted for.
