Met on KFVS just said Wednesday's Cape Girardeau tornado missed his own house by 2,000 feet.

That reminded me of how WVUA met Richard Scott's house was wrecked by the 4/27/2011 Tuscaloosa tornado, and how James Spann's home barely dodged getting hit by a tornado on 3/25/2021!

Reed Timmer is reporting power flashes on the storm near Cave City, AR.

 

[Aaron Rider]

I was watching the stream but I definitely didn’t see a tornado. Not sure if I missed or if Reed is just going by radar imagery and is assuming there’s one down.

There was definitely a tornado but it was very easy to miss! In fact, the guy filming it didn't even see it. Lol. Northern Arkansas is TOUGH chase country

[Dustin Fenton]

I’m chasing amify storm

 

[Kds86z]

Finally, observed..

 

[TheSuckZone]

Freddy McKinney on the reported tornado. Saying he has seen no tornado

 

[Kds86z]

 

[Kds86z]

Another area hit recently

 

[ColdFront]

Just piggybacking off of what @jiharris0220 said, that line is moving so slow off to the northeast. Almost all of eastern Arkansas is still untouched by it

 

[Tennie]

Cape Girardeau, MO, is now under a Tornado Warning--again.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Tornado on the ground north of Delta MO

 

[bkimes]

Our poor local met at KFVS gotta be on air watching a tornado head towards his house again.

 

[TheSuckZone]

We'll see what happens here

 

[jiharris0220]

The tornado threat seems to be diminishing specifically in central Arkansas.

Residual moisture mixed out the inversion but at what cost?

A zone of stability has appeared, likely a subsidence feature due to the shear amount of convection in the QLCS that forces the LFC upwards which essentially causes storms to become elevated once they enter this zone.

This DOES NOT mean tornadogenesis isn’t possible.

 

[SmokeEater]

Trained spotter reported a tornado down moving into Cape Girardeau.

 

[TheSuckZone]

Trained spotter reported a tornado down moving into Cape Girardeau.

Looked like possible CC spike near Gordonville but I wasn't 100% confident on that
