Severe WX May 2019 Plains Severe Event

[SilentShadow87]

Severe Studios isn't showing chaser locations, so not sure if this is the Joplin area one, but there's a massive wedge on a couple of streams there.

 

[Equus]

Reported TOG just NW Joplin; coverage

 

[warneagle]

Definitely cycling back up.

This is not good...likely TOG northwest of Joplin

 

[Equus]

Merger with a cell speeding north into it occurred right before the EF5 eight years ago today, the radar picture is eerily similar

 

[xJownage]

Looks like a tornado may have touched down just northwest of Joplin. Prayers are with all of them...

 

[Equus]

Oh man PDS TOR warning for the cell now, TDS

 

[warneagle]

Carl Junction has about 7,500 people. It was hit on 5/4/03 too.

 

[Equus]

Local mets there have a radar, otherwise it's very hard to see; possible debris ball over a very populated area

 

[warneagle]

Absolutely massive TDS now.

 

[Equus]

Well I think we have verified the Moderate. Worst case scenario unfolding there right now.

[warneagle]

Weakened a bit on this last scan but still a very strong signature.

 

[Equus]

Chaser has it live

 

[Equus]

Just went Tornado Emergency. Damage reports coming in

 

[SilentShadow87]

Chaser has it live

Looks like it's lifted, but that is the most evil-looking wall cloud I've ever seen...

 

[Equus]

 

[xJownage]

They change it to TORE as the tornado appears to weaken/dissipate entirely. Am I the only one this type of thing frustrates the hell out of?

 

[Equus]

I mean there was a PDS tornado warning the whole time but yeah the TORE trigger was really really late
