Severe Weather 2023

Feel like today until Friday/Saturday deserves its own thread.

Agreed andyh, today in the tornado department over-performed and then some.
Multiple storms from Florida and Oklahoma panhandles dropped tornadoes.
The Akron Colorado supercell complex, produced possibly up to 8-12 tornadoes alone.
Then all hell broke with the Matador tornadic supercell, which then went on to produce a multitude of other likely tornadoes.
All to say nothing of the major wind and hail that occurred along side that.

Simon Brewer's video from the Akron CO cyclic supercell is incredible.

Some of the more robust looking CO tornadoes I've seen. Not your typical landspouts, elephant trunks, and ropes that you normally see.

If Tim Marshall is saying this, you know it's bad.

Some of the most insane tornado damage I've seen in a WHILE.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Some of the vehicle damage looks upper echelon ef4. Mannn... That was really bad tornado. Needs more drone footage when the sun comes up.

 

[Lake Martin EF4]

Oh of course we get a likely EF4+ when I'm not looking. Typical

Man that was awful

 

[UncleJuJu98]

What's absolutely incredible and will probably have case studies done on this storm. Is just the height of the storm it was almost at 70,000. That's extremely high

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Death toll is 4 now and 9 injured from the matador tornado.

Someone did a Facebook live video from a helicopter flying over the damage path. It looks very intense. Multiple homes completely destroyed as well as several commercial buildings, major tree damage. Some screenshots from the video included.

Probably the strongest tornado of the year in an area that didn't even have a tornado risk to start the day...

If it's the strongest if the year it'd be stronger than rolling fork which rated 190mph lol. You saying this has the ef5 chance lol

Pretty crazy there was no tornado risk at all for that area on the morning outlooks. Some of the 06z and 12z models were going nuts on some of the supercells in the panhandle.

There have only been three other violent tornadoes ever recorded in Texas during summer: an F4 on July 5, 1905, an F4 spawned by Hurricane Carla on September 11, 1961, and the Fritch F4 on June 27, 1992. This tornado was an extremely rare event.

There's also the Pampa F4 on June 8th, 1995 which is arguably a summer tornado, unless we're only counting tornadoes on and after the solstice.

There have been a handful of violent TX tornadoes in the first half of June, but definitely not on or after the solstice. Tornado activity in this region typically hits a brick wall after June 10 or so.
