ArkieOkie Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 This is horrific. As I stated earlier, my family and I left our home for a little while for a more substantial shelter. We had pretty high winds come through, but no damage in my immediate area. I was in the hallway of my friend's home, keeping my two kids and her two in the bathroom. It was pretty noisy, more so than I've heard in a while, so I'll be honest and say that I was pretty scared. We're back home now and watching 40/29 in disbelief. (B. Sebo, we'd be watching 5 but its blipping in and out on our digital antenna.) I have an aunt and some cousins in Ozark who were in the hallway taking cover when I called to make sure they were awake. They're fine, but it sounds like Denning has taken quite a hit. (Edited to correct user name mistake.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintosh Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Denning just took a direct hit. Small town of 100 houses or so...but tragic nonetheless. Incredible radar image. There's no doubt, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upsloper Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It's the same thing as NROT on GR2AE, that some of us have. It's pretty accurate. I was thinking about the legend. It would be better if it was numeric so they could adjust their analysis if a tornado for some reason had a weaker signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more then likely the hail core. There's hardly any rotation there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
