We've reworked the plug-in that was in use in the dev environment. The only thing holding us back is not breaking all the pics that were already posted. Hopefully we have a script for that this afternoon.
Teachable moment right here. So this Romanwx guy is actually demonstrating some pretty textbook tornado enthusiast damage over-analysis right here. The biggest issue here is him seeing things that just aren’t there, and trying to draw conclusions from a photo that isn’t close enough to make out what he’s trying to point out. First off, what he’s calling wind rowing just looks like a pretty typical debris scatter path. True rowing manifests as long distance, dramatic linear striations of debris, and one of the biggest elements of true wind rowing that everyone forgets, is the presence of numerous pieces of lumber left oriented end to end in the same direction. This photo isn’t close or clear enough to show that, and the scatter path is quite short distance wise. He’s also apparently trying to also say there’s a dislodged front porch, when there literally nothing to suggest that. And perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves, trying to determine tree debarking in a photo where none is visible, and the trees are so far away there is no way to draw such a conclusion. Conclusive damage analysis can be done via photos on the internet, but this kind of thing gives it a bad reputation.
Yeah that’s a fair point and I did hint at that. I’m just so used to WFOs usually honing in on whatever they can to go lower bound.
Oh that was you! I forgot lol.
The watch is very much warranted today.
In mesoscale analysis it's the shear that's high and the helicity that's low?
