[172556]

Dresden TN debris evident on CC from VWX at over 15kft.

 

[OHWX97]

Tornado likely developing north of Providence, KY. Directly over Dixon right now.

 

[Gen-Z Meterology]

Severe T-Storm warning issued for Shelby County in TN and Desoto County in MS. Storms are starting to enter the Memphis Metro after being relatively spared up until this point.

 

[172556]

Rotation will be VERY close to LVX radar site if this track is maintained.

Edit: Cottage Grove will also approach HPX site.

Cottage grove looks to just got hit head on. Possibly two violent tornadoes ongoing at the same time

I dread seeing footage from Mayfield, KY tomorrow.

 

[Clancy]

WEHT apparently experienced some kind of (non-weather-related) power outage. Live stream remains working.

If this has been a continuous track through KY could this be a contender for the longest tracked tornado in recorded history?

 

[OHWX97]

Cottage Grove cell is really starting to take on a more classic supercellular appearance on radar and will almost certainly keep producing tornadoes for a while. This event is far from over.

Huntsville picking up CC drop from Cottage Grove at beam height of 21500'.

It's been over 230 miles from where the tornado originally formed northeast of Jonesboro, AR, but it almost certainly lifted back in Tennessee and then reformed in Kentucky. It may have been continuous from that point though, which would be like 140 miles.

It's been over 250 miles from where the tornado originally formed northeast of Jonesboro, AR, but it almost certainly lifted back in Tennessee and then reformed in Kentucky. It may have been continuous from that point though, which would be like 140 miles.

Had this event occurred before modern records began I am 100% positive it would have been classified as one continuous tornado.

 

[TH2002]

Looks like it's hitting Olaton.

 

[Equus]

Cottage Grove signature from earlier, we are going to have many very significant damage paths, some lost in the shadow of the lead cell

 

[bjdeming]

Can't believe it is still this intense after this long, so far east, without many hiccups. Historic event.

If it's possible to talk of silver linings right now, this isn't 1925, fortunately, and researchers now have lots of data on such a long-track tornado. It's some consolation anyway.

 

[Jpgood97]

Cottage grove cell could get ugly if it maintains up to Hopkinsville/Clarksville

 

[tennessee storm chaser]

Cells nearing Memphis are starting to come more of a broken line . They may be fixing take off entering very unstable air west ssw Tennessee

 

[Jpgood97]

Also, are we looking at 2 TDS on the main storm at fordsville?

If this storm was not out there and never started we would have been covering the other storms because there have been plenty of them. But even my novice wifey realizes this is a rare event and deserves much of our attention
