Jebman Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I can't stand this any more - First Tuscaloosa, then Joplin, now this outbreak. This is too much There's nothing worse than a violent tornado at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SluggerWx Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 National Weather Service in Tulsa reporting Denning is destroyed. Going to end up as another EF-3+ tornado IMO. You can just tell by what was observed on RADAR and how the mets on TV get somewhat a loss for words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Weather Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Normally I would be skeptical of such early reports but the MIC reporting Denning appears "destroyed" is not good...given the time...fear we have more people that have just died...will have to hope that maybe this won't be as bad as it sounds...

It should be noted that one of the mets you hear, Joe, was born and raised in Altus and his family still lives there. Bad time for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm not a fan of the rotation tracker. It's the same thing as NROT on GR2AE, that some of us have. It's pretty accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my subjective experience, generally when you get immediate reports of severe/extreme damage within 10 minutes or less of the tornado actually occurring, it usually means it's really bad. Likewise for injuries/fatalities...the quicker you hear news, the worse it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
