Severe Weather 2023

[atrainguy]

Glimpsed the Campton Hills/Plato/South Elgin twins, unfortunately video is pretty much worthless. Was never able to stop and tripod like I was for Keota, and the roads became lined with trees seconds after I caught a view. Super jealous of Matt Zuro and Jimmy Sieniki's shots.

Still, this is why I stayed on the storm after following it from Davis Junction for over an hour and a half without it seeming much inclined to do anything.

Cool pics! First an EF4 and now twins - seems it's been a really good year for you.

Thanks! And scarcely a rumble of thunder in between - what an odd year locally. Keota was also twins (Hedrick tornado still in progress), although I was only dimly aware of it in the moment.

Ahh yeah, completely forgot Keota were twins as well, lol! Yep, definitely an interesting year.

Speaking of Keota, the Didsbury tornado was pretty much its Canadian brother; similar intensity, and note how it also shape shifts from a photogenic cone to a dust-shrouded stovepipe in a very short timeframe.

My "full" video, such as it is (all 60 glorious seconds of tornadic bliss) is up:



The driver of one of the cars off to the right at 0:22 submitted their video to CNN, it was in the footage distributed to affiliates that we downloaded for air at work this morning; you can see my car go by.

Looks like there was a tornado near Ottawa this afternoon.

From yesterday's Elgin tornado

There was a tornado warned storm with some decent hail at my parents' place in northern MN today.

After a relatively quiet start to the Michigan severe summer season, it seems like there's been an uptick in tornadic weather this month. Currently have a new tornado warning in the Thumb now. I wasn't paying attention to the weather for today so I didn't realize there was a potential at all for this kind've weather around here.

Meanwhile in Mississippi... an observed warning out of literally nowhere. And OF COURSE, KGWX is down.

Yep and leave it for it to be in Monroe County. Johnny how many tornadoes have passed close to you this year? 4 now. 1 in February, 1 in March, 1 in June, and now 1 in July.

Familiar with the story of Roy Sullivan? I guess Mother Nature felt the lightning thing had been done already and someone needed to have a bunch of close encounters with tornadoes instead...

Also, someone tell those tornado-warned storms in Michigan to chill out.

edit: Oh, and we have yet another tornado-warned storm aimed directly at the Kansas City Metro. Can 2023 just stop already?

May have had a brief touchdown near Applegate, MI

Yep, been watching that carefully...

Even if we don't get tornadoes, still have 80mph winds approaching

Nice shelf and leading edge scud-funnel, been an awesome last few months for shelf cloud watching

That warning was a glitch wasn’t it? It never showed on RadarScope, the Jackson home page never showed it, the BMX home page showed tornado warning in the legend, but didn’t on the map. I looked at the radar and didn’t see anything that indicated tornado. SPC doesn’t show a report.

Did someone say shelfie?
