Not liking the trajectory of the Chickasa, OK cell. If it develops, it's going to get uncomfortably close to the OKC metro.

Uh oh, that one's might be heading right into Moore.

The power grid in Union City has been proactively shut down in order to keep first responders safe.

I’m thinking of the one that promoted a tornado emergency in April or May 2024; I can’t for the life of me remember which town it hit near.

Anyways, enough of the past and back to the now.

Portage, MI (just south of Kalamazoo), May 7, 2024 (day after the Oklahoma high risk/Barnsdall). Rated EF2. TORE actually included Union City that day.

Here's all your kinematics. There is absolutely nothing holding these storms in Oklahoma back. The only thing that might even remotely be lacking is Effective sheer, which is somewhere between 35-40 (and that's still plenty). Things are very likely about to escalate extremely quickly. Those storms in Kansas will be even more intense once they mature a bit.

Union City tornado reminds me quite a bit of the Lake City AR tornado last year and the Van Wert OH F4 in 2002.

I saw a bit of Andover there as well. Just based on the ridiculous motion of it and debris.

The video with the frozen lake made me think of the Winterset, Iowa tornado from a few years ago. Almost guarantee with the motion and debris with this tornado that we had a violent tornado.

12 year old survived that Union city tornado by listening to max stream. Broken leg.

Storm south of Stroud, OK might be trying to clear out an inflow notch.

O my … effin

Wow. I was busy and come back to a potentially violent tornado in Michigan wow!

Absolutely the nastiest tor to come out of Michigan since Gaylord in 2022. Ridiculous motion.

 

[Muwx]

How uncommon is it to have a violent tornado outside of a watch box? I can't really think

I think that is quite a bit worse than Gaylord, but its too early to know for sure.

 

[TornadoFan]

Stroud storm.

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

Davenport, OK storm developing circulations despite several mergers. Either a clusterfest of a cell or it continues this progress.

 

[rushdude]

Safe, for the time being. It's cloudy too
