Lol no it’s not. Not even close. Can we not with the absurd hyperbole?

Hope you're right, and I'm wrong. Because this was very close to a strong rain wrapped tornado in populated area situation.

 

[N0mz]

would you look at that...

This is looking looking a lot of like a Joplin-eque type of situation... not sure where the Tor-E is... debris coming down on storm chasers...

Wut

The updraft is getting choked with precip, tornado has lifted.

Oh you definitely are. That happens all the time without it being a Joplin tier event. That’s like calling any sizable tornado that hits a suburb a “Moore type situation”. It’s a hyperbolic, irresponsible, and quite frankly a stupid comparison to make.

Wowza

Yeah, I thought so too. Even though Ryan Hall says there is a mile wide wedge back in the rain...

I would just laugh if this ends up proving us all to look like utter clowns in the next 10 minutes but I highly doubt it

Safe to say

Tornado OTG near Belleville, Wisconsin. That storm just keeps on trucking...

 

[slenker]

Taylorville cell looks like it's getting its act together

Hooking up nice south of taylorville

 

[TornadoFan]

Taylorville supercell trying to clear out its inflow notch?

I'm not referring to the outcome. But the scenario here was clear, high-precip, big-tornado, populated-area. Why would I use Moore when it wasn't a high precip event? Stop putting words in my mouth.

@buckeye05, @Xyls, if you guys don’t mind, could you take this conversation to direct messages please?

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

This thread is going down in infamy for many reasons. Trainwreck.

Let's see what the rest of the night offers us. I'm not saying anything else otherwise Mother Nature is gonna make me eat crow again like I deserved to

Lol I’m not, nor was I accusing you of comparing this event to Moore. I was using that as a parallel example to demonstrate how ridiculous it is to call something Joplin-like just because it’s rain wrapped and in a populated area.
