Kevin Askew Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Chased the storm in STL metro, just outside town on 70/270 JCT. Reported 70 mph winds to NWS STL. at our location, Tornadic portion of storm just to our north. Power flashes were seen in distance from tornado touchdown or high winds. Isolated pockets of higher winds. Several semis off road we observed and one on its side. Sporatic damage 25 miles down I-64 or so was some sporatic tree damage. Violent squall line complex in that area. Road side construction marker was in road, I clipped, 2nd car in team collected plastic barrel and done minor fendor damage to the vehicle. Caught up to Williamson Co. Storm where only 45 mph winds observed at Johnston City Near I-57. Pretty exciting night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah I really hope IND surveys Madison county, but I've seen no PNS or other info that says that's what they are planning. Tornado in Madison County A severe squall line early in the morning on February 28 produced a small, brief tornado in extreme southern Madison County just west of the town of Ingalls. The tornado began near county road 1050S, just west of county road 750W, pushing the roof off of a house. From there the tornado continued north, damaging a large barn up the hill north of the flooding Lick Creek. The tornado also destroyed a pole barn, damaged a home, and a 30 foot long trailer along county road 1000S. Further damage to trees occurred across the road from the pole barn before the tornado lifted. Based on the damage to the homes and barns, the tornado produced EF1 intensity damage with maximum winds estimated at just over 100 mph. The tornadoes path was just over a half mile long and around 200 feet wide. In addition to the tornado damage, downburst straightline wind damage was also observed just south of the tornado touchdown near Woods Drive at State Road 67. Additional downburst straightline wind damage in the form of downed trees, limbs and powerlines occurred further southwest on State Road 67 in Fortville at Motel Road, Industrial Drive and just north and west of the downtown area. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=ind&storyid=64678&source=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierwx Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 ...PRELIMINARY NWS STORM SURVEY CONFIRMS EF2 TORNADO IN DUBOIS COUNTY... A NWS STORM SURVEY IN DUBOIS COUNTY INDIANA HAS CONFIRMED AN EF2 TORNADO WITH ESTIMATED WINDS OF 120 MPH. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE WITH THIS TORNADO IS IN CELESTINE NEAR OFF OF ELLSWORTH ROAD. DAMAGE INCLUDES ROOFS BLOW OFF TWO HOMES WITH THE WALLS COLLAPSED IN ONE HOME. IN ADDITION A DOUBLE WIDE TRAILER WAS BLOWN OFF ITS FOUNDATION AND A RV WAS TOSSED ACROSS THE ROAD. ONE MINOR INJURY WAS REPORTED. THIS INFORMATION IS PRELIMINARY AT THIS TIME AND MAY CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR A FINAL REPORT ON THIS TORNADO. Below is a radar image of the storm that produced this tornado this morning. This occurred about 20 miles from me and we were tornado warned for the same storm and just guessing from damage reports passed about 10 miles south. Was watching it come in and saw a report from Huntingburg Airport of a 99 mph gust. TV mets were saying 120 knots at 4000 ft at the time of the gust report.

B-Rent Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 <br />I can verify its real. Some damage had TOR indications. Also had trees topped about 25' up. 30' travel trailer thrown 100yds also. I spent some time in the closet on storm 2. 120mph velocity went overhead. No damage here.

ksstormhunter Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 00Z SmartModel Severe graphic updated still showing an area of concern for Central to South Central Virgina. Still seeing potential for an Isolated Tornado possible, but looking at mainly strong straight line winds 60-70kts. Also update city specific forecasts.

Calderon Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Everything in our area is covered in dust/mud from Texas! I have seen this only once before. Apparently the dust was carried up here by the jet stream and mixed in with the rain at the end of the event. Lots of people in the region reporting that their cars were covered this morning - mine included. It is on the house and everywhere. Quite odd Same thing here after this morning and early afternoon's storms and rain, my truck was covered in fine dust. I had my suspicions, but geez, very interesting.

blackjack123 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 NWS Louisville confirms an EF-3 tornado near Eminence in Henry County Kentucky east of Louisville Feb. 28. Yes, the survey came out yesterday and I guess tornadotony got it on his list for this year. I wonder if he mentioned it in another topic. Never found any other information in regards to this tornado in another topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 31 with 6 additional tornadoes in the LSX CWA (including 2 more EF2s for a total of 6 EF2s and 1 EF3). Pretty good outbreak when looking back upon it now, 31 tornadoes is a solid outbreak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Pretty good outbreak when looking back upon it now, 31 tornadoes is a solid outbreak. Not a bad number of tornadoes, as well as other wind damage reports. As mentioned earlier, it was a bust in the moderate risk area. A pretty good event in the slight risk area though.

Kevin Askew Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Likely only picture of the Granite City Tornado intercept. Our team member Ann Hill captured this on her dash cam from a still grab. Pretty tornado with debris cloud. New Meso appeared to spin up SW most likely caused Troy damage later, we got close enough for hail there. Pea sized our location and 70+ mph winds reported to NWS STL. Storm motion was very fast. 60-70 mph. First catch of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
