Severe potential 2/23-2/25

Actually quite unhappy w/ the NWS in Louisville, had a couplet and debris signature 15 minutes before the storm was even tornado warned. The cell even got severe warned while it had an obvious tornado on the ground. Pathetic.

Remember last year when one of the supercells in Texas had produced a large, violent wedge by the time it was tor warned? If I'm remembering right I think that was the Dimmitt supercell, but I could be wrong.
 
Looks it produced some pretty significant damage.

Debris signature seems present with warning near Osceola, AR, on the TN state line. Warning text says large and dangerous confirmed tornado.Screenshot_2018-02-24-18-16-35.png

So sad, they'd just talked about (on TWC) that there'd been over 200 days since a tornado death! [emoji29][emoji29]

At least one of the deaths was in an interior room of a house. Always tragic when people do exactly the right thing and lose their lives anyway.

The house has been reported to be "destroyed". Unless it's down to damage from falling trees then we're probably looking at EF3/high-end EF2 damage.
 
QLCS events are hit and miss. The 4/4/11 and morning of 4/27/11 ones in particular stand out. Obviously this one didn't produce 40+ tornadoes, but there appear to have been at least two in the EF2-EF3 range.
 
This is turning into a very dangerous and damaging event!!
Kudos to The WEATHER Channel for choosing to entertain rather than discuss, I thought y'all were past this!! [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]
