Severe WX April 11th-13th, 2020 Severe Weather Threat

They could well be wanting to call in a QRT, or could be that the worst is over in JAN closer to Bassfield. We wait to hear from JAN now I guess.
 
I take the Walthall rating and interpret it as just slapping on a "this was a sig tor" as a placeholder until later.
 
Makes sense I guess, "at least EF2" encompasses the entire spectrum of strong/violent
 
Danielle Manning wrote the preliminary report at KLIX. I job shadowed under her back in 2009 and 2010 when I thought I was going into meteorology. She was an awesome met, so that gives me some reassurance.
 
So the really nasty damage starts on the Walthall/Jackson line in south MS, right on the LIX/JAN CWA boundary, which might be a good reason surveying has been slow and highly preliminary. Obviously in addition to the massive difficulty I'm sure they're having reaching the affected areas due to the 50+ mile swath of splintered pine trunks splayed everywhere.
 
High end deadly EF3s too. Dixie events love doing destruction well east of the highest risk areas and continuing into the predawn...
 
HUN Storm report update:





Also of note, they mention in another message that they still have several surveys to complete.

Yeah, seeing this damage and the damage you posted later...I'd think EF4 at minimum, but I'm sure the survey will give a better overview of the DIs hit.
 
Contextual evidence is about as violent as I've seen in the last three or so years, the more I see the more I'm impressed. Looks like a brick house and it's hard to tell with resolution but those might be anchor bolts. There's still green on a couple trees laying nearby but those might have been blown in from elsewhere OR the house might have been in a subvortex path. Time will tell maybe

Is the dirt pile near that house scoured ground, where trees were uprooted, or was it there before?
 
Adam Lucio also reporting this



I'd bet final rating is higher than 170, but glad to see another violent tornado get recorded as a violent tornado
 
Spann also mentioned the track as it stands now is 63 miles long, and will get longer after they have more time to complete their survey.
 
Yeah I'll bet the final rating is closer to 180-190 (Louisville 4/28/14 was 185) but that's a great start
