Severe WX Severe Threat 25 March 2021

Suspicious looking storm on the Cherokee/Pickens county line in GA

Sounds like there's some serious comms problems in Newnan as a result of the tornado.

Any storm chaser livestreams tonight?

I will maintain what I've said in other threads over the past few years. One of the biggest failures of American government over the past 25 years is that we don't have triple (or more) the number of WSR-88D sites that we currently have

Preach! I'm 103 miles from my WFO, have two that are closer in other states. Completely in a radar hole from all, though.

Looks as if the storms are starting to bow out a little more based on the latest TWC radar image.

Went to check the publicly available feeds and pretty much all of it was offline.

K4NRC repeater in Newnan is back online as of a few moments ago.

That's right through downtown.

Amateur radio seems reporting most damage seems to be south of downtown especially along and near Newnan High School.

What a beast! I have to say, the use of drones to film tornadoes in the southeast has been a godsend.

Remember when chasing in the deep south wasn't a thing? Sure is now, and drones are changing the game, as they get the clearest views of typical Dixie torndoes, which are usually haze-covered, tree obscured, low LCL wedges.

Nasty looking storm on the GA/SC border. Svr warned for now, tornado listed as possible in the text

 

[buckeye05]

Yeah that Toccoa area storm seems to have a couplet now, but it’s pretty far from the radar.
