Oh my god the meso handoff actually completely failed. This is horrifying.

Debris ball is 1 to 1.4 miles wide from the 2 closest radars on the lowest scan.

They should issue another tornado emergency soon, and preferably not 2 minutes before impacting Mortons Gap.

Don’t want to add a side conversation, but can anyone post a link or article on dbz measurement on debris ball, and what’s significant about it. Just trying to learn something new

The more dbz, the stronger the debris ball, generally speaking. Don't know if that's what you're asking for.
Tornado Emergency reissued, good move.

Why does NWS Paducah make tornado emergencies so small? I'm not even complaining since they're issuing it, just confused.
Anyways, this thing is violent.

Likely trying to focus on the actual path of the tornado and not polygon the entire storm. There are a few schools of thought on this but I like the more focused warning for high end tornadoes.
