Severe Weather Threat May 17-19, 2025

[Tennie]

The Tornado Warning has now been downgraded to "just" a PDS.

Brenham, which is a very tiny village may have taken a direct hit.

I just opened Radarscope to see if there was any more action and did a triple take.

No way.

Back to being a violent MONSTER wedge tornado... good gosh.
Is this the Trousdale equivalent of this supercell?

 

[TornadoFan]

Tornado warning for the cell behind the Greensburg storm.

 

[Equus]

Yeahhh last couple of frames looking very much like an intensity spike; depending on the southern cell this could be quite the tornado family again

 

[Clancy]

We now have 2 TOGs. One behind it is now TORR.

 

[jiharris0220]

Two uncanny occurrences today.

"Biggest tornado I've ever seen in my life" via Brad Arnold. I believe him; that couplet is gigantic.

 

[NorthGaWeather]

Outflow from the southern impending merge will likely enhance the tornado in the very short term. Merger will take place in a favored area for maintenance. Or well see an occlusion followed by another RFD surge.

That couplet is insane

 

[AJS]

Absolutely massive couplet now.

 

[Tennie]

NROT values have spiked to an incredible 3.14!



I'm praying that this supercell stays out in open terrain for its entire life cycle!

 

[Maxis_s]

Oh this really just is Trousdale 2.0. Wow. I really was joking but I guess I'm right.

 

[Clancy]

Very uncomfortably close to Haviland. Seems like it may be wobbling a bit, movement has aberrated the last scan.

 

[US_Highway15]

Hate to break this to y'all, but there are/were anywhere between one to three houses in Brenham that legit just got wiped out. Like directly hit head on.

 

[NorthGaWeather]

Annnnnd that outflow just enhanced the tornado. Classic.

 

[mariachi507]

Am I seeing two rotations or am I just dumb?

Edit: ok, I'm not the only one.

It's at a 3.5 now, this thing is an unbelievably violent monster.
