If it's really still on the ground, it's gotta be one of the longer track tornadoes in the Fredericksburg vicinity that I can remember. It has maintained a surprisingly consistent TVS.

It's much easier to maintain low expectations about severe around here. I try to steer clear of the place around winter because it's harder not to get your hopes up (plus it's not as fun without DT's rants).

I know, I think I'm just noticing the contrast between this thread and the midwest/ohio valley threads where they've been having tornado outbreaks with about 20 people in the thread lol.

I love how active it is just for an ENH risk day.
-
lmao at all the people in here!

Really impressive downpour here. Wind was nothing special, although it still knocked the power out for a few minutes lmao. Sun is already peeking back out. It was cute!

I always just thought I was crazy for thinking this. It’s so rare that we get these classic, quick squall lines anymore, yet I remember them being a sort of regular occurrence when I was a kid.

It’s already breezy and the sky has that gross white haze. Definitely seems like the kind of day we get these nasty lines.

Not even a STW for the cell near Locust Grove?
-
Just finally started raining. Weird storm.
-
This came on really quick. Sun to severe in a matter of minutes. And none of my electronics are charged for if the power goes out lmao.

The Louisa storm has been looking better with each scan.

Just heard on the police scanner that there was a fatality in Stafford.
-
Lights are blinking here.

Ugh, this looks like it's going to take all night to move out of here. I want to go to bed.

That cell near Warrenton looks suspicious.

If it comes ashore looking anything like that, Josh is going to vomit.

Devastating tornado strikes Joplin, Missouri
Tater Tot replied to Hoosier's topic in Weather Forecasting and Discussion
This is something that I think is severely overlooked when it comes to natural disasters. Whenever I hear about "Lucky" people who survive stuff like that, I just feel bad for them, and the fact that they have to go through the recovery process. I wouldn't be surprised if there are many PTSD sufferers who wind up wishing that the traumatic experience had taken their lives after all, because it sounds like absolute hell.
