Severe Threat May 15-16, 2025

Injury count from the London tornado has reached 108, making it (iirc) the only tornado in 2025 to injure more than 100 people and the only tornado since 2023 to kill more than ten.

Got some sauce from the man himself regarding the May 16th forecast. I asked him if I could share it but he hasn't responded yet.
Here it is:

If you don't remember, this was the forecast that mentioned "Several strong tornadoes appear likely, and a high-end long-track tornado will be possible from far southeast Missouri, into southern Illinois and southern Indiana, southward into western Kentucky and far northern Tennessee"
 


i thought i would share this from the may 16th weather event with the previous discussion of the retirement of the nam model and other weather models this goes over the new experimental weather models that will be replacing the nam and other weather models let me see if i can find the first one since the video i included is the how well the new weather models did
 
Had the London tornado gone just 180 yards (0.09 miles) north of where it tracked, it likely would have been an absolute disaster.

Didn’t know this.. sad

Also, unlike the title says, the death was completely unrelated to the London EF4 and wasn't even tornadic. It happened in Ballard County (literally one of the furthest-west Kentucky counties) when a tree fell on their house due to wind. They were taken to a hospital in McCracken County and died there. Bad reporting.
 
Hi all. I was going through and highlighting the notable tornado events this year. One of my most anxious questions was the extent of the damage from the tornadoes in Linton and Bloomington, Indiana, on May 16. Doing a little damage forensics, and I found a video on YouTube that pretty much confirms my suspicion that Linton was violent. Intense tree damage in this video

Many people here have probably seen this, as it's, in my opinion, the most eye-catching tornado video of May 16. But I thought it would add weight to my point made about this tornado's potential.
Just incredibly violent motion in that thing.
