It’s been a long, long time since i’ve seen a debris ball that size and intense.

73dbz debris ball on that tornado. Is that a new record?

What should we call this outbreak? The "Humble Pie Outbreak"? The "Crow-Eating Outbreak"?

I don't think I've ever seen a debris ball this color.

 

[WeathermanLeprechaun]

73 DBZ. Pardon my French, Holy excrement.

It just did a debris ejection. There’s going to be debris falling out of the sky in Martinsville.

I’m struggling to remember a debris ball that looked like this

 

[Jacob Aden]

I TRIED TO TELL Y’ALL

Of course the tornadofest starts just in time to make everybody look like morons

The event hasn’t finished yet

I never expected Palm Sunday redux, but there’s still time for violent tornadoes to show up. I’m mostly pushing back against the bust talk.

GREarth mapping would indicate that this tornado did still hit some residences and clusters of buildings/mixed with the forest.

Crap.

Ryan Hall mentioned maybe biggest he has seen since Mayfield earlier.

I don't like the northward jog its taking. That is putting it on a track toward Morgantown, IN.

The scar from this tornado is gonna be insane. We’re gonna see a nasty damage path tomorrow morning. And the debris ball just keeps getting worse and worse…

It’s ironic because I was always touting that this would be significant outbreak for the past week just to go back on my own forecast two hours before all hell broke loose.
Life just be like that.

Better time to boast later, i would think, maybe not when this thing is still ongoing.

I did too. Forecasting is a pain in the money maker. I haven't fluffed this hard ever.

I noticed that as well. This thing is just straight up nasty.

It's weakening big time. Still a large debris Ballon reflectivity but velocities have toned down.

i know this is a rural area, but this should have gotten a tornado emergency. This might be an high-end EF-4 or greater tornado. The Vrot isn’t off the charts, but the debris ball goes up 4 tilts and there’s a massive debris fallout happening with this which you typically only see with high-end, violent tornadoes.
