Wow...all the Ms. Storms are developing hooks. Starting to look suspicious.

 

[KoD]

Storm west of Ackerman has some broad strong rotation. Gonna have to keep an eye on that closely

Storm that is west of Aberdeen, MS looks nasty. Not seeing much on velocity yet though. Plenty of cells to watch this evening

 

[DaveFromGA]

10 tornado warnings right now in 5 states

 

[MattPetrulli]

Cells near Freetown, IN and Orleans, IN looking pretty impressive on velocities.

 

[Equus]

That nearly solid line of tornado warnings in KY/IN with a whole line of discrete supercells is wild.

 

[Bama Ravens]

One good thing, the tornado warned storm near Aberdeen, MS doesn’t look impressive on the velocity.

 

[Kory]

That nearly solid line of tornado warnings in KY/IN with a whole line of discrete supercells is wild.

Some good rotation with several of those storms.

 

[Equus]

Not that much low level velocity signatures in anything south of the Iuka storm as of yet. But wow at the stuff in KY/IN

 

[Bama Ravens]

I hate how NWS Memphis words their warnings. They make it sound like there is a confirmed tornado.

 

[warneagle]

Supercell conga line

 

[Kory]

BWER on the Brownstown, IN, storm. I suspect we have a decently sized tornado with that one.

 

[warneagle]

Pretty strong rotation on the storm approaching Owensboro, KY too

 

[DaveFromGA]

Nice wall cloud on Chris Conley's stream

[TornadoFan]

BWER on the Brownstown, IN, storm. I suspect we have a decently sized tornado with that one.

Warning states large and extremely dangerous torndao on that storm, but the source is radar indicated rotation. Odd.

 

[Chris3024]

Man at the storm approaching the Columbus nexrad

 

[JayF]

Those storms in Kentucky and Indiana look mean.
