Oh, hi. Almost didn't see you there.

 

[Tanner]

This is BAD BAD BAD. We aren't even in the PDS watch yet. Bakersfield storm is atrocious on presentation. Cells to the south are looking concerning. St.Louis is about to get slammed. This is such a historic event starting.

 

[SmokeEater]

Bakersfield cell will track right at West Plains, population 13k. Not good.

 

[Austin Dawg]

Tornadoes on the ground and the weather channel is showing commercials. That's why I call it the commercial channel not the weather channel.

 

[jiharris0220]

We have two intense tornadoes on the ground simultaneously right now, this did not take long at all.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Huge debris signature on the bakersville MO tornado. The velocity just got stronger. That is a very bad tornado

 

[UpperLevelLOL]

New MCD out

 

[CheeselandSkies]

I sincerely hope that's not ALL debris...
