    Since it was pretty much ignored in this thread, I'll just throw these in: https://www.waaytv.com/content/news/TVA-Wilson-Dam-pumping-3-million-gallons-of-water-per-second-after-10-days-of-rain-506334421.html https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=322535525044082 https://www.timesdaily.com/multimedia/flooding-around-the-shoals/video_621b72cd-980e-5ec0-a03a-445d44bcb510.html https://expo.al.com/news/g66l-2019/02/671ce3c1ad1047/photos-and-video-of-major-flooding-in-the-shoals-.html https://www.timesdaily.com/multimedia/residents-of-muscle-shoals-evacuated-from-their-homes-due-to/video_da7c4431-6ebf-5e27-9320-22c372b07f45.html At almost 100 years old, Wilson is still hanging in there!

    In the 2011 Super Outbreak, you posted:

    Just as an aside-although terrain may weaken most tornadoes, it may not be a good idea to expect that it would weaken all tornadoes. Especially when the dynamics involved are as powerful as they have been today. Cases in point: During the 1974 Super Outbreak a number of the tornadoes tracked over hilly terrain without even noticing it. One western US tornado that formed in UT made it across the Divide in WY which is at 10000 ft elevation causing considerable tree damage. Bellemont and Flagstaff AZ are close to 7k elevation and in the mountain region north of the escarpment of the Mogollon Rim yet last October 8 tornadoes up to EF3 intensity formed in the area doing significant damage. The parent storms actually developed along the base of the Mogollon Rim and moved north where the tornadoes developed.

    You are right and people who think a 5,000 foot mountain will "rip apart" a 58,000 foot super cell is putting themselves in danger. It's pretty obvious by the time that cell got to North Carolina, it was after midnight and probably 500 miles from it's power source, the Gulf of Mexico. Those are the factors I believe ended that tornadic storm.

    So in other words, the truth is not welcome here. Very fascist of you. Of course I don't blame you. Truth ALWAYS ruins a manufactured crisis, right?

      I posed a perfect logical but unanswerable question about "global warming" or whatever you guys are calling it this week and it was quickly removed. Just another example of free speech is limited if you don't parrot the party line.

    One gentleman described the Phil Campbell tornado as a "giant octopus" as it came over the mountain into Mount Hope. He's not in this video.

    This is a fairly unseen video (about 1,800 views) that reminds no matter how awe-inspiring a tornado can be, there's something terrible going on under it. Check out the exchange at about 3 minutes when the tornado sprouts it's multiple vortices. There is cheering until someone reminds them that people are dying with a little profanity.
