Listening to the St. Mary, MO radio scanner. Sounds bad. Hearing multiple buildings destroyed in town and vehicles flipped.

 

[Clancy]

Are those massive blue blobs debris fallout? They don't seem to be just noise.

Sounds extremely bad.

 

[TH2002]

First time I have ever seen the words "massive damage" in a Tornado Warning bulletin.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Boy, this escalated quickly. Was not expecting this much after dark, had kind of written this event off as another (relative) dud following the briefly tornadic storms further north in MO.

 

[MichelleH]

I have a work friend in Mt. Vernon, IL. Is the Chester tornado still on the ground?

 

[TornadoFan]

 

[buckeye05]

Reports of trees and power poles snapped, metal roofing torn off, and at least one home completely destroyed in the Junction City/Fredericktown, Mo area.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Have to be at least some very very strong winds over or just south of Perryville. Velocities are intense but somewhat broad and CC is inconclusive ATTM.

 

[buckeye05]

New tornado warning for embedded QLCS circulations in the eastern suburbs of St. Louis.

 

[TH2002]

I have a work friend in Mt. Vernon, IL. Is the Chester tornado still on the ground?

All of the warnings are back to radar indicated threats. There is a chance the storm could cycle back up and produce another tornado, but does not appear to be on the ground at this moment.

 

[TH2002]

Have to be a least some very very strong winds over or just south of Perryville. Velocities are intense but somewhat broad and CC is inconclusive ATTM.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a wide but weak tornado, but like you said can't be certain.

 

[buckeye05]

Likely QLCS tornado entering Shiloh, IL.

 

[buckeye05]

Injuries and widespread damage now being reported near Fredericktown, MO. Extensive damage now also being reported in St. Mary, MO and Chester, IL.

 

[TH2002]

If these tornadoes were as violent as they appeared on radar, no fatalities tonight will be nothing short of a miracle.

TDS at the top of the hour near Wamac

I fear Irvington took a direct hit by that tornado. Also, it appears the warning was dropped, despite a CC drop still being evident.

I wouldn't have even noticed that one had it not been for the TDS. Didn't look like there was anything there on velocity.
