Severe WX May 2019 Plains Severe Event

[BayouWeatherGeek]

This is definitely the worst the tornado of the year by far. Sounds like it may miss Xenia by 5 miles.

Wow.

 

[TornadoFan]

Good lord.

>500 m2/s2 0-1km SRH? That'll do it

 

[warneagle]

Maybe a TDS between Union and Vandalia?

Absolutely terrible to see this happening & during the night in a populated area. No words... Pray for any victims, family, medical response teams. If heavy casualties are reported then I would encourage those reading this who have wealth and a good heart to send to the local trauma center or hospital that may be taking in heavy casualties, pizzas. Call in an order, or do it online... It really makes a big difference. When disaster strikes these paramedics, doctors, nurses and techs will work tirelessly for hours without eating, day shifters stay late for hours helping and most haven't eaten since noon or earlier and they may be at that hospital for another 6-12 hours.
Huntsville hospital received pizza from a Brooklyn ER after the 2006 bus accident and it was so incredibly appreciated and helpful.
It's a small easy gesture but it truly is an incredible gift to the life savers in their community.
I'm hoping there are minimal to no severe casualties.

Another confirmed tornado near Vandalia

Another possible tornado heading towards Dayton from the Northwest.

 

[warneagle]

Confirmed tornado is gonna pass right near the 70-75 interchange north of Dayton.

Good lord.

Yikes, that is truly scary. That thing was at least a half-mile to even a mile-wide.

This is unruly!

 

[warneagle]

Little bit of a TDS south of Vandalia, this is going to pass just north of the path of the first tornado.

Took the exact words from my mouth. That kind of SRH will definitely do it.

This one is a fair bit weaker though. Probably EF2 or EF3 strength. Still not good, but at least it doesn't look violent at the moment.

 

[warneagle]

Ugh

Yeah, I'm just worried that emergency responders might have been travelling to the area hit by the first tornado through there.

Looks at what’s left of those trees.....

Night of the debris ball.

Night of the debris ball.

Part of the problem with the last couple weeks generally is that most of the strong/violent tornadoes have been after dark. Honestly it's a miracle the death toll hasn't been much higher (knock on wood).
