  1. Great videos but the thing is all 3 of these videos should have never been shot, because all three should have been in their basements/safe places.
  2. Not a lot of damage photos/videos because of the location it hit, Elie isn't exactly a booming metropolis plus most of your storm chasers chase only in USA which is where the lack of video comes in.
  3. Looks like a repeat this morning, some of the center parts of AK are -50 to -60. Pretty incredible even for AK standards.
  4. Congrats on your Orange Tag

  5. Yeah I'd like to hope that he kept his interest of Meteorology, seems like a smart kid with a very high interest in meteorology.
  6. When they come up on the Iowa and 20th area no words can describe what they saw.
  7. Man that is just unbelievable how fast that thing spun up, it literally went from wall cloud to monster in 60 seconds.
  8. Very good to hear you made it out ok, however it is unfortunate to hear that you have people you know who have died.
  9. True, to be honest in a field this specialized you should consider yourself lucky if you get a job in the city you live in. That happened to be the case with me and I am very lucky that it occurred that way.
  10. Most majors don't balance out jobs to grads, especially with how the economy is right now... Also like many others have said there are many ways into the field. Personally I am going the observer route right now.
  11. Saw this nice image on Wiki referring to the outbreak
  12. Maybe there was over 100 tornadoes on Wednesday, LSRs for the day now show 259 reports. Even if you cut that in half, you are looking at over 125 tornadoes in one day.
  13. Yeah I would have to say in the North here we don't heed the sirens like those in The South or Plains. It is just a matter of time before that issue will cause a large loss of life.
  14. AP now reporting 339 dead which makes this the 2nd deadliest tornadic outbreak in U.S. history.
  15. Yeah as soon as the Cullman tornado showed that at around 3pm, I knew this wasn't just your normal outbreak.
  16. Agree, I think that aerial video of the track through Tuscaloosa is just jaw-dropping.
  17. Yeah if you go purely by the radar, it looked to weaken for about 20-30 miles before picking back up NE of Birmingham.
  18. I think we need to break this safety discussion off somewhere, so it can stop crowding this thread up.
  19. You can't definitively tell which tornado will probably be very violent and which won't be.
  20. This, telling people to evacuate would be the absolute worse case scenario.
  21. If thats correct, then we are looking at over 70 alone in Tuscaloosa. Not counting what happened as the tornado moved Northeast.
  22. The Rosedale area was what was originally mentioned in that report last night that we denounced earlier as being false. Lets hope it is still false.
  23. No I agree with you on this, as that MCS probably laid a boundary in N. AL that enhanced the shear even more in the area. Plus the loss of power aspect that the MCS caused too.
  24. Agree really puts yesterday into perspective though as it could have been much worse as there had originally been a moderate risk up to Cleveland only to be scaled back some. As bad as yesterday was, it could have been much worse.
