When Cameron Nixon speaks…. Listen

Go home tornado, you are drunk

 

[WhirlingWx]

That area of convergence over Bethel Acres proper is kinda interesting too...

CC drop with this now

Three simultaneous tornadoes

Who gave the storm drugs?

The channel 9 helicopter got beat up by the hail.

Preserved this just cause it is so wild

I can't image it. Of all things to be traveling in I would NOT want to be in a helicopter during a hail event.

A legit "Night of the Twisters" scenario.

It looks to me like they're rotating together, counter-clockwise. Hence the one moving to the northwest. The rotation by Bethel Acres looks to be moving to the west/northwest now, yes? As if they were three vortices of a giant tornado. But I know nothing and could just be seeing stuff.

 

[Equus]

Multiple mesos (one from the main cell and one from the trailing cell) interacting and rotating around each other in the process of eventual merger, in such a slow moving storm cluster that's going to lead to a wild swath of tornado paths in all different directions

 

[warneagle]

Gotta be a nightmare for the folks trying to coordinate the warnings on this thing

 

[notsoencrypted]

I feel bad for anyone underneath this mess. It's slow-moving to begin with, and then the multiple places of rotation... I hope they all have good shelter and are able to be patient.

 

[Equus]

Impressive effective helicity values in the vicinity of the storm with super backed surface flow, has its own little environment there to do all kinds of wild vorticity shenanigans

This storm took the type of steroids that only Ivan Drago would ever touch.

With most warnings we generally know that only a small percentage of people within the polygon are actually in the path... but with this storm? Goodness gracious, I'd be terrified sitting just about anywhere in those polygons atm.

 

[rushdude]

Been awful breezy here today and tonight in DFW.
Hopefully the severe weather threat tomorrow is minimal

 

[TH2002]

Speaking of which, looks like yet another debris sig on it

Agreed - Also captured this one as well

Shawnee in the crosshairs with the current motion of the new tornado
