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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
