2 fatalities from this area. Still 3 unaccounted for. Was afraid of this. Rv mobile home park at night never good. Sherif said on a different site probably will be more.

Unfortunately, the damage in Rogers, AR is much more severe than the noisy radar returns let on. This is a densely populated area, so we're likely only seeing a fraction of the damage.

Just had another significant tornado around an hour ago.

As I said earlier, the Indy 500 is this afternoon but Indianapolis is in an Enhanced Risk of severe storms today. I wonder if there is any way the event could be moved to tomorrow? I’m not sure what their severe weather plan is, even if it’s lightning and no tornado.

They are going to try to run it today. I heard an interview with IMS president Doug Boles a bit ago, and apparently their lighting plan is stop and clear the stands if any lightning within 1 hours, so people can make it back to there cars. As nice as it would be, you just can't really build adequate shelter for 300,000 people in one spot.

Ugh, I stayed up to late watching the mayhem, only got 3 hours of sleep

Like the two 'big' forecast days earlier this season (27/4 and 6/5). What daylight threat was forecast (i.e. like yesterday's 00z HRRR that started the hype, or even the 18z) didn't amount to that much tornado-wise, some people got upset a certain word was used, then things really picked up at night for the third time with strong tornadoes hitting populated areas again. Plenty of destruction and at least several deaths, while the chasers will still be left to stew over why they didn't see much. One of the patterns of this year.

Must say I'm not used to following these events after lunchtime my time. It feels odd.

Took me almost an hour to get caught up. Wow. And the "fun" continues today and for some of us, tonight. Hate, hate, hate there were fatalities, including children.

 

[jiharris0220]

Safe to say the moderate risk verified, just not exactly in the time or places we expected.
