I’m actually sick to my stomach watching that head straight for London.

 

[TornadoFan]

Feels like Mayfield all over again. Jeez.

 

[OhOkayThen]

The amount of debris signatures on radar this evening will be remembered for a long time.

 

[AJS]

Feels like Mayfield all over again. Jeez.

It’s Eastern Kentucky’s Mayfield.

 

[Cyclonic Paracosm]

from 2019-now I have seen everything atp cuz my god this is one of the strongest things I have tracked, like this is just unreal

Insane capture

 

[Brice W]

It’s got a pink reflectivity debris ball, with the pink being an “eye.” Like I said, might be a top tier violent tornado ongoing right now.

Feels like Mayfield all over again. Jeez.

The Vrot, CC combo on this storm suggests something well into the EF-4+ range. It’s quite rare to get debris lofted over 30k feet.

 

[AJS]

What stuns me the most is how far away we are from the radar, and the debris ball is so extreme.

 

[AJS]

It’s turned more north toward downtown.

 

[Brice W]

Debris ball is getting deeper at the wrong time….

 

[UpperLevelLOL]

Yikes, guess we weren’t done tonight. What a couplet.

 

[AJS]

I’m praying that it occludes, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to.

 

[OhOkayThen]

Where is the TORE?

 

[akt1985]

I fear we maybe looking at an upper echelon tornado. In Kentucky. At night. Again.

On a Friday no less

 

[AJS]

Ok, based on the latest scan, it does look like it’ll go just slightly south of downtown, but it’s aiming for several residential areas.

 

[TH2002]

Tornado is now entering the SW side of London.
