Uhhhh...Tornado emergency for Jefferson city maybe? That Debris signature exploded on the last 2 scans. Saying my prayers now...
EDIT: PDS Warning issued.

Yeah that's a bad situation, it seems to have hooked a little left which would put it dangerously close.

And right on cue, the next scan of velocities showed a large uptick in intensity.

Massive TDS on Jefferson City storm.

Debris possibly to 15-20k ft right before entering town; this could be a violent tornado

For those who saw my previous post, I'm sorely mistaken. Looks like Jefferson City is taking a direct hit.

Absolutely embarrassing that the Mizzou Radar has been down since April. Would've been so useful for today. Now you have a tornado going through the State Capital...

Looks like it took a right turn and hammered the south side of town. The velocity signature isn't that strong, so I'm HOPING this is a weaker tornado, but with a debris signature like this...

Can't get a much more direct hit than that. Given debris height and TDS path we just witnessed a nighttime violent tornado directly strike a state capital.
Given the issues with radars at that distance, maybe it missed downtown, but we can only hold our breaths and wait for reports to know for sure

TDS is massive now, this is pretty much a text book worst case scenario
