The problem is that I'm too stubborn to give up on stubborn people lolYou may wanna give up with the stubborn types lol.
You could just update the article later on if you get new photos.
Yeah I'm eager to read the meteorology section, as the circumstances that led to this outbreak seem to have been exceptionally rare.
Anyway, yeah the meteorology aspect of it is fascinating to me. I always feel a little wobbly trying to balance breaking things down in-depth vs making it accessible to non-wx folks, but I think I covered most of the important stuff. I was also able to talk a bit with some of the people who worked the event, which was really helpful. I can only imagine how stressful it must've been, especially for the NSSFC folks who went from downgrading the area to a Slight Risk to issuing a tornado watch for a developing outbreak in the span of like 50 minutes.
One thing I'd never realized before was that there were basically three different triggers, which is why there were three distinct lines of supercells. The Southern Ontario storms formed from the interaction of the cold front with lake-breeze fronts coming off of the Great Lakes, the first line of OH/PA supercells formed along the western edge of the cap via underrunning and the final wave was triggered by the cold front as it pushed through a bit later.
