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

My apologies for flying off the handle a bit earlier with some of those unwarned tornadoes. I’ve just never seen so many TDS’s without tornado warnings before. Was just crazy to me.
 
Also some tragic news unfortunately. 5 dead in Murray County, GA. Pretty sure this was from the Eton area tornado.
 
Debris ball east of Harrison, GA.
 
I fear what we will find out in morning between FFC completely dropping the ball, and everything else I've seen from just 0530 until now. Currently ongoing.

That tornado North of Furman looked almost exactly like the Vilonia tornado on 4/27/14. Ridiculous CC drop and velocity couplet on that, was definitely a violent tornado. The beginning, in which it started as a smaller looking tornado with a TDS behind the gust front, also happened on the Vilonia tornado, which was very close to the radar site as it developed. I'm interested to see what happened as there's about a 12 minute gap in between radar updates as the tornado goes violent.

It seems to be in a sparsely populated area, but may have hit a couple small towns directly. I'm surprised they never went PDS with this warning. It just tightened up and produced another TDS directly over Walterboro.

Edit: aaaand I see the TORE as soon as I submit
 
Wow, I expected a few issues in GA/SC, but nothing like what I woke up to. Incredible. CC is such an indispensable tool in events like this one.

Still interested to know what prevented MS/AL from having a larger event than they did. What were the factors that held the event back? Especially as it pertained to the supercells that did form? We had two major supercells that looked amazing for awhile and then after that, thankfully, they never could re-establish themselves. What happened?
