Severe WX May 2019 Plains Severe Event

It might miss Montpelier but it's going to be a really close call. I don't know how big of a town that is.

Not much outside a mile of center.

Oh okay, I spent some time at IU in Bloomington one summer but I don't know much about the rest of Indiana.

No surprise these things are going nuts, mesoanalysis shows ESRH of 300-400 in this area. They're actually moving into an area of even stronger shear.
 
Tornado on the ground with storm near Imperial, NE. Funnel reported just a short while ago with storm near Plainville, KS.
 
I'm guessing that couldn't be rated higher than EF3? Hopefully there's no one in there.
 
One of the most disconcerting effects of the EF-scale has been seeing that kind of destruction and realizing it didn't even take that strong of a tornado to do it. It's shocking how bad so much of the building construction in the US is.
 
That TDS is still going... reflectivity/velocity are not representative of the significance of that tornado I think.
 
A second circulation is wrapping up just SW of that one; about to have two significant nighttime tornadoes on the ground. The northern cell has lofted debris 15-20kft.
 
That's a really powerful circulation right over Brookville. The northern circulation is going to be crossing I-75 soon.
 
Debris ball on the Brookville storm and velocity swirl characteristic of really intense tornadoes. Yikes.
