NaoPos Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 not sure if the LLJ is ramping up?? 2 rotations quite strong now, with 1 possible debris ball. Def a hook: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevlon62 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 This is the most utterly freaky and awe inspiring severe weather photo I've ever seen. Ever. Bird's eye view in Bing Maps gives 45 degree low altitude photographs from 4 directions. Chopper on one of the two pads at the hospital viewable here. Obviously no enclosed structure for them to wheel into at that location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 My gosh--these next two days are going to turn this into another historic outbreak, unfortunately. Tuesday looks sick across the southern plains--in a bad way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Pics ... More. Hard to tell in the pics..........but under ur link "more" last picture if i had to put money on it, does look like he had a basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowahawkeyedave Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hopefully JoMo is ok. I tried to do street view in the far SW part of Joplin, since it looks like hes in a newer development with a wooded backyard, but street view is mostly only available on the main streets, not the side streets. My thinking was that he might be west of Schlifferdecker Road and south of Newton road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday looks sick across the southern plains--in a bad way. To your trained eyes, does this look like another east of I-35 type of event in OK? Oklahoman's are always weather-aware, but I'm worried some in the OKC metro have been lulled to sleep with everything being east of here so far this year. Don't post here too often. Last time was during our period of blizzards and extreme cold this past winter. Thinking about JoMo right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the projected rapid height falls expected capping doesn't look to be a large issue. Tuesday looks like a potentially significant outbreak.

My thinking was that he might be west of Schlifferdecker Road and south of Newton road. Lets hope so because I believe Newton Road/ 32nd street was the southern boundary of the path... he's likely got no power and or no way to communicate via computer but I have a good feeling that he abit BARELY, he dodged the bullet... lets hope we get something from him soon though either way.

iowahawkeyedave Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 This matches the view between the houses in the "More" link above. This matches the second picture under the "Pics" link above. This is just under 1 mile northwest of the hospital in Joplin. Thoughts and prayers are with all in Joplin. Yes lets hope he's safe, that looks like where he'd be located. Hopefully the tornado just missed him to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowahawkeyedave Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Basehunters is saying this on facebook. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Basehunters/202554713102266 "it was an incredible scene this evening in Joplin, MO. We got the only video of the tornado as it was moving into Joplin and were first on the scene of the damage near downtown. It was a very scare sight! Video will be up soon." So hopefully we should be seeing some video of this tornado soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
