Severe WX April 12-15th, 2018 Severe Potential

To low. The people making the complaint were saying it completely leveled several homes and demolished several cars.

I mean this is the same WFO that rated Vilomia EF4. They are as conservative as it gets with their ratings.

With that said, if they were small, frail, cottage type homes with structural integrity similar to that of mobile homes, EF2 isn’t unreasonable.

WPC went up to high risk of flooding in southwest AL.

It's actually the Tulsa office who is in charge of NW AR, so they surveyed that tornado.

While you can tell it was likely more intense than that based on video, I didn't see any photos that would indicate anything higher than an EF2 rating.

And on the note of Mountainburg, the complaints I saw were people saying it deserved an EF4/EF5 rating. More than likely just trolls.

Twelve hours ago, the line was over New Orleans. Twelve hours later, the line has only made it to Mobile.

Possible gravity wave trying to form over W AL?

It's crazy, it's the opposite here. We have had some showers but the wall of rain hit a brick wall at the Talladega county line.

Same here in the Montgomery area. The Mets have been saying all day, “It’s almost here.” Now on the 10pm newscast they are saying,”We promise, it’s almost here.” It borders on the bizarre.

EF2 QLCS spinup tornado confirmed in Meridian, MS via NWS Jackson. Great example of how these QLCS tornadoes aren't always brief and weak. Photos by WKRG.

Some pretty good video of the Meridian tornado from Reed. Clearly a disorganized, yet still fairly strong tornado.

 

[rolltide_130]

I was a little iffy on SPC's forecast today, but they certainly justified the 10% with that Meridian tornado, and there may have been another somewhat strong one in far SE MS this evening as well.

On vacation at St. Simons Island and under a tornado warning. Storm had some.hail showing up on radar......people are kinda freaked out at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center! Looking west it is really dark!

Looks like they may issue a tornado watch for the southern part of Florida.

That looked serious, and it was there for a while. Likely going to be some pretty heavy damage along that path.
