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

I think it’s still on the ground

This thing is historic. Does anyone know what the DOW recorded so far?

Mayfield-esque.

Reported is the wrong word. Estimated.

 

[Tempestas Tonitrua]

It's from Sam Emmerson's tweet just above.

I thought that said 190

 

[MMWX]

I thought that said 190

One of Hall's meteorologists also said 200. I'm not trying to spread misinformation.

All preliminary, nothing official, but the fact that 200+ is being charted is very serious.
