Severe WX Sunday March 3 Severe Threat

[Equus]

It's fantastic to have local geographical knowledge offered during these events imo, though not so good when that means that an area one knows very well is under severe threat

 

[RollTide18]

Tornado on the ground NW of Eufaula, about to move into Georgia.

 

[buckeye05]

Things still firing of to the west. Strong, tight embedded couplet NW of Eufala, AL. Looks like a weaker one just south of that one too.

WMAZ has pictures of a house completely flattened south of Fort Valley

 

[buckeye05]

Looks like EF3/EF4 damage near Fort Valley.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Imagine the radar signature NE of Marshallville if JGX was working...

Also, what's the difference between a PDS warning and a TORE?

I never would have thought we'd have potentially broken our violent tornado-less streak today of all days. Speechless

An elephant trunk on a LP supercell in Dixie Alley in early March? What sorcery is this?

This was looking like a Central/East AL into West/Central GA just a few days ago. Things just shifted Southeast with time. But someone was getting hit.

 

[warneagle]

unfortunately once that thing gets east of 75 it's pretty much all populated areas. there are a lot of subdivisions between Warner Robins and Perry.

200 mph gate to gate shear (off of FFC but still, that has to be nasty at ground level). this one might be almost as strong as the Lee County storm. I think they need to go tornado emergency on this.

Help me out here but has this has been the most significant day for that particular area since 3/1/07? 1/22/17?

This tornado looks extremely violent. A shame that it’s traversing a fairly densely populated area.

for west-central Georgia? like the Macon TV market? probably 3/1/07.

Something's gotta be done with Warner Robbins radar, always being down in outbreaks. Not having low level scans there today is a VERY bad thing.

 

[warneagle]

unfortunately the cam at the fairgrounds in Perry is obstructed by a building...

That is crazy.

Yes, that area, also E/SE Alabama, although the threat isn’t over for SE Alabama yet.

I feel weirdly personally guilty about this since it's my "hometown" radar. The Macon TV mets are...definitely not happy about it.
