    Well today didn't evolve how I expected at all. A lot more west and north than I anticipated. Wf may have helped that Happy, TX storm. Unreal cyclic beast. Thank god it missed major population centers because that was definitely probably an EF3-EF4 caliber tornado. Moderate risk area may end up busting tornado wise. That beast was on very edge of 15 hatched. Wonder if these storms near Lubbock will do anything. The more southern storms seem to be struggling more. One thing I did notice is as soon as those storms turned more NE instead of almost due north they went nuts. Needed that easterly component to really max out SRH. 

    Yo, it's 1640 CST, why are you talking like that before cells have even actually moved into the MDT risk?

    Killer, likely at least EF-3, tornado hit the northern Birmingham suburb of Fultondale overnight. At least one hotel heavily damaged at I-65 & Walkers Chapel Road, which is one exit north of where the Tuscaloosa/North Birmingham EF4 from 4/27/2011 crossed the interstate. Also, multiple homes completely destroyed nearby with 1 fatality confirmed so far.

    I've been tracking that from over here because I'm responsible for that region & JTWC dropped the ball big time. 2 days ago there were 2 well-defined clusters with evident surface circulation, and in the span of 2 hours last night, one group of storms exploded & closed off the eye. It was bombs away very fast then. Already forecasting flooding in Djibouti, because well, it happens in a scenario like this with ease over there.

    You numbskull, you said they were exaggerating nyc.   I posted about field hospitals which did sit mostly empty.  That is a fact.  They were terribly misused and that is well documented.   
     
    "Red tape and poor communication between city, state and federal officials led to the field hospital as well as the Navy's deployed hospital ship, the USNS Comfort, sitting largely empty while public hospitals in the city reported crowded conditions and overwhelmed staff."
     
    “I basically got paid $2,000 a day to sit on my phone and look at Facebook,” Katie Capano, a nurse practitioner from Baltimore who worked at the center, told the Times. “We all felt guilty. I felt really ashamed, to be honest.”
     

    So that seems to go more along the lines of government mismanagement, shocking, versus not used because of actual case load. That argument then falls dead and goes more after NYC, New York, and the feds.

    Not to get too political but this blowback on Whitmer by this insane asshole  is just insane. 

     

    Pardon my language, but "b***h, what the actual f**k" kind of statement is that? Bruh, someone take his ass out of the media, please.

    Powerful deep convection, the deepest convection in the whole system, is firing in a band north of the center, and this feature will hit the SE FL coast. This band may have the most powerful winds in the entire storm. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=meso-meso2-14-200-1-10-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

    Already the conditions out there are solidly tropical storm force, with lots of wind and torrential squalls moving through very often. 

    Looks to angle itself right into Broward County, so the cams in downtown FTL, Dania Beach Pier, & Hollywood Beach are going to get really good.

    As I said earlier that’s probably the worst idea. People have had it and are doing tons of private gatherings where the spread is happening.

    I’d rather have people at a Michigan-Michigan State football game with 20% capacity or a restaurant with limited capacity spaced out as you’re allowing people that recreation with safety measures.

    It’s why numbers with the exception of Florida are fairly low here in the South. The fatigue is not nearly what you have in the Rust Belt.

    The amount of family and friends I have trying to visit is wild right now. While cold weather plays a factor, they all talk about how they’re sick of not being able to go to games or how restricted things like bowling alleys and restaurants are up there

    Seeing how much people piss & moan about not being able to go out to eat & to other places is hysterical at this point.

    I guess I am a little biased being deployed and pinned with concrete walls for 7 months, but still.
