Severe Threat May 15-16, 2025

Definitely still a TDS.

Structurally it's still a beast, but on CC it doesn't look super well-defined atm. The blue drop doesn't correlate up by any tilts and corresponds to low returns. Don't doubt it's OTG, though.

Ryan Hall showing a nice defined TDS southwest of Peabody again,.

Ryan says it’s back and ugly..

I think talking about NWS preparedness and staffing during an outbreak is pretty weather related, but I’ll drop it.

It’s not. And the vacancy issue is deeper than the recent cuts. But I’ll drop it before I make Michelle yell at me. Haha.

Tornado is heading towards a number of small communities. Fairly rural, but a bunch of little neighborhoods in there.

It looks like it went through a handoff of some sort @Shakespeare 2016

"Now this might strike some viewers as harsh, but I believe everyone involved in this argument should shut up."

(Ok, back to weather...)

London storm back down to radar-indicated, looks like it might be going outflow-dominant. Hopefully soon-to-be gone for good.

I lived many years in Houston. He was always a long track political blowhard, just itching to mouth off his dumb opinions. Frequently wrong on forecasts, too.

He is absolutely someone who would spin a big political myth out of something minor, because "The ends justifies the means."

Would you people just shut up about politics? We are tracking severe weather not politics.

 

[atrainguy]

Well this just gets worse and worse.

 

[jiharris0220]

So, is this a weather forum or political social media rant thread?

Where are the moderators?

 

[Clancy]

Well this just gets worse.

Hopefully they can bring in additional airlift from nearby districts. Medical helis are super important in rural or hard-to-reach areas. They still serve their purpose and we see them often flying out here in the Atlanta area.

That cell just needs an RFD surge and it’ll do it.

 

[UpperLevelLOL]

Well this just gets worse and worse.

Hooooly smokes that it some serious damage to that chopper

 

[UpperLevelLOL]

Ugh Somerset looks baaaad

 

[Clancy]

Pretty nasty MCS going through Tennessee now. 31K without power so far, and that number will likely increase significantly.

 

[kcyalater]

daylight is going to be a nightmare along the somerset/london ky corridor.

 

[TornadoFan]

Wish I had Ryan's energy. Always amazes me when he streams for 11+ hours.

Meanwhile trying to make heads or tails of the north MS situation...
