Severe Weather Threat 5/19-5/22/2024

Obviously different storm structure, but that screams Mayfield.

That's exactly what I said to my son, sitting here watching this. The last time I saw that was when the Mississippi Delta got hit.

Yeah, seriously wtf?

 

[UncleJuJu98]

40k+ what!!?

Catastrophic damage in Greenfield.

 

[SmokeEater]

Hospital in Greenfield took a direct hit, they can not provide services.

I guess this is kind of trivial at this point, but I don't understand how you don't issue a TORE for that.

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Anyways HOLY **** WHAT IS THAT REFLECTIVITY DEBRIS BALL?

I sincerely hope that these Rolling Fork/Mayfield comparisons are exaggerations, but if those are your immediate comparisons, we have a dire situation.

Yeah I don't get it either

Looks like there might have been a satellite tornado that may have almost been absorbed by the main tornado. Certainly a fujiwara effect

Rotation getting stronger south of Macksburg.

Yep. Ryan Hall’s stream called that out as well

 

[Austin Dawg]

This line of storms is heading right straight for Des Moines.

 

[Maxis_s]

I... I have no words. This thing still has a reflectivity debris ball despite seemingly not on the ground.

 

[UncleJuJu98]

Couplet southwest of macksburg is intensifying quickly

 

[TornadoFan]

Couplet southwest of macksburg is intensifying quickly

That one I'll be really concerned about.

 

[Clancy]

Another tornado likely in-progress near Macksburg.

 

[jiharris0220]

I think this event is a full proof example that you don’t need a discrete mode or even a well spaced semi discrete mode to have significant/violent tornadoes.

Is that 50k+ feet?
