Whoa! This was from a school’s security camera in Ohio.

Luckily a pattern change is coming soon.

Umm..they need to open the Morganza spillway soon. Or this is going to be a major problem.

Luckily a pattern change is coming soon.

Nothing that is going to stop it from raining on these rivers.

Video of Reed Timmer's rocket launch into the Linwood Tornado. He later confirmed that it measured 2D wind speeds in the EF4 range.

looks like another heavy rain event in store for late next eek for the areas that simply don't need anymore... gfs has 9 to 11 inches over parts west ark, and oklahoma

From what I've heard, the EF4 upgrade was due to well built apartments unroofed with exterior walls destroyed and very high end tree damage (large trees reduced to shredded debarked snags) but I've yet to see photos from that area of the path; assuming it was part of the drone survey. There are parts of the path only apparently just now available to surveyors as they were blocked by debris for quite a while. Still stunned we didn't have fatalities from this.

I like the idea of running drones through areas that are inaccessible in the initial survey.

I do too, the image quality is even good enough that a few integrity questions may even be resolvable without a ground team. This has certainly been the year of drones and tornadoes.

And rockets too, as Reed Timmer has shown us!!!

A met at NWS Wilmington (OH) has released aerial survey photos from the Dayton tornado.

Also, YIKES at this close call
