I trust them, I can’t recall them ever reporting false tornado fatalities etc.

Interestingly it has a new hook behind it, probably gonna try with that one.

 

[Kds86z]

Not a good situation here….

 

[JPWX]

The same

I thought so. How is he still chasing one wonders

Brandon Copic has some spectacular structure on his stream.

i fear what the night holds as the LLJ will just supercharge this incredibly volatile atmosphere. what a unit of a system.

Copic has a a bowl.

But someone said the sheriff said 0. So I don’t know, but hoping for 0.

Just got in from driving home from Lexington. Did we get lucky with the Rockford area storm? I was tracking radar on my drive up to Wisconsin and thought for sure that I’d come back to this thread and find out major tornadoes occurred with that.

Definitely agree with whoever said this may end up being an historic tornado event for Wisconsin. Our largest outbreak in state history is just 27 on August 18, 2005. Breaking that may be in play

 

[Weatherguyx]

Reed stream reported he done chasing and going into assist mode.

Possible tor coming together near Osceola MO.

 

[Tennie]

The storm complex near Janesville, WI, looks like it could threaten Milwaukee within an hour or so, give or take.

 

[Grand Poo Bah]

I think in terms of hail this year will be historic. I can't believe how many people I know hundreds of miles apart who have been hit by golf ball to tennis ball sized hail.

Connor got run over by another tornado.
