looks like this was a popular occurrence across the region this afternoon. i was able to chase from the comfort of my cubicle... so naturally i'm a bit jealous of my mother, who lives south of middletown and saw one for herself.

Okay. Here’s my cruddy, amateur video of the funnel cloud near the town of Bowersville, OH.
Pictures of the wall cloud prior to producing the funnel.
In hindsight, I wish I would’ve stuck to my original plan of traveling north on I-75, instead of I-71. Could’ve seen a much better funnel (possible tornado) near Middletown. But at least I saw something.

Sorry to bother you but we're you agreeing or disagreeing me. Just wasn't sure.

Disagreeing. That was not an EF5. EF4, maybe, but that isn't EF5 level. Unless that house was REALLY well anchored, and I don't think it was.

I was just saying this tornado may have reached EF5 intensity. I was thinking mid at least mid EF4 damage.

EF5s are extinct anyways, so its not like ones going to get such a rating out there in the middle of nowhere

Just wait until March 3 inevitably goes overboard and drops a biggun right through, like, Jasper or Moulton or somewhere.

Looks like this is where the fatality occurred at Cheyenne.
Haven’t posted much because of how exhausting and scary it was here in the Dayton metro today. Was worried we were experiencing Memorial Day Part 2, but damage thankfully seems minor.
Edit: Actually the damage from the West Middletown, OH tornado looks fairly significant.

Hmmmm.....Depends on what you count as QLCS. It's either 1981 or 2020.
Oh yes, South Carolina in April 2020 right?

Wow, the Hobart tornado had an extremely well defined condensation funnel.

I thought I saw a funnel like that (and so did the on-air meteorologist) in the live chaser video on KWTV as the Norman tornado had just cycled (apparently) and produced a new one around the time it crossed I-40 over northwest Shawnee. It was so quick, though in the lightning flashes and through the rain-spattered windshield it was hard to tell. Sure wasn't expecting highly visible condensation funnels yesterday, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the low-level inversion and relatively high LCLs. My mindset was that this was more like a Dixie setup due to nontraditional timing for the southern Plains (according to both the calendar and the diurnal cycle), but it really wasn't.
