OmahaSoxFan Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 looks like i will get nailed tonight Me and you both JCWXGUY, Omaha and Lincoln could be in line for quite a "derecho event" tonight. Everything is in place, and there won't be much to stop this intense line before it gets to Eastern Nebraska. The text on the PDS Watch saying 90 MPH winds are LIKELY is something we don't usually see with Severe Thunderstorm Watches out here, let alone a PDS for one.

OmahaSoxFan Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Can one of you Omaha guys, let me know when your stations go live streaming? Yeah, the best bet would be KETV Channel 7... they usually have the best live severe weather coverage here in Omaha. I will post something if they have something go up "live" online. In a situation like this, they better be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwxguy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 yeah, usually dont see those that often. Looking at radar though, storms in the northern part of the line are getting weaker. Too bad ill be at work when these hit (hotel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaSoxFan Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 yeah, usually dont see those that often. Looking at radar though, storms in the northern part of the line are getting weaker. Too bad ill be at work when these hit (hotel) Those "weaker" storms are still spewing out 70 MPH winds though and are still Severe warned. Will be interesting if those even more intense storms on the south end of the line work their way a little more north. Either way, still a lot of time for this line to either strengthen or weaken before it gets to Omaha-Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 This is a crazy severe weather event event. Up to 4" hail (grapefruit!!!), hurricane force winds, and a barrage of mostly weak tornadoes at the beginning. It's still roaring too, and as the LLJ intensifies overnight this could get even more intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 There is actually a bunch of tornadic activity along the squall line currently. It's really interesting to watch the LLJ interacting with the squall line, it's pinching off vortices on the leading edge. Mostly 50 kt or less couplets (prob a bunch of EF-0s), but the LLJ is strengthening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Omaha's definitely about to get slammed. Probably will be a quick hitter though; about 30 minutes of heavy rain and destructive winds. Don't think it will top the June 2008 'Storm of the Decade' Omaha had when I was living there but definitely keeping an eye out because of family still there. Seems like the line is bowing out a little more as it's getting closer to the Omaha metro. Could be mistaken though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helicity Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Come to daddy... Mi thoughts exactly, surprised SPC hasn't furthered the PDS watch into Butler and Sedgwick County. Still a long time before it enters into that area, gotta maintain first. Anyways I think I am going to bed. Later all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWeatherPimp Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Do you know what time this was? Great vid btw. My first report to your office was at 6:33 - we had 1 brief tornado touchdown with a power flash under the actual wall cloud. Just after that, we looked to our East and had the large gustnado (which I'm assuming it was the fire department was reporting) under the gust front. At one point, I'd estimate that it was over 1/2 mile wide and it did pick up some debris including what looked like a few pieces of roof from a barn. The meso/wall cloud caught up with the gustnado and the gustnado connected with the rotation/wall cloud where there was a visible funnel that extended from the wall cloud all the way to the ground (hence my second report of a brief tornado touchdown). There were literally so many gustnadoes that we couldn't even keep track of them all. Here are some of the other videos we took: 0633 PM TORNADO 4 N ONEILL 42.52N 98.65W 05/30/2011 HOLT NE STORM CHASER LOTS OF ROTATION. SEVERAL FUNNELS REPORTED BY STORM CHASER. ONE BRIEF TORNADO TOUCHDOWN AND SAW A POWER FLASH. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWeatherPimp Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Also here are a few damage pictures that we took from Grand Island today where it looked like there might have been some embedded microbursts within a much broader area of straight line wind damage.
