tornadotony Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It is cycling...already a new INTENSE couplet to the east of the debris ball...with the original couplet weaker but still intense. When I said I thought there might be a strong tornado or two today, this is not what I had in mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New England Storm Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The south storm still has a very strong couplet wwlp tv does not seem to concerned but, all the other station do. edit:-71kts in the newest radar scan to +43kts have we ever seen anything like that?

battlebrick Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 NWS is going to have a lot to explain.. judging by radar, this is clearly a violent tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornadotony Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Give us some context as to the severity of that. That is as impressive a debris ball as I've ever seen. It is as strong or stronger than Joplin. I believe Tuscaloosa may have hit 70dBz but it's tit for tat. This is an EF4/EF5 tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Tuscaloosa may have hit 70dBz but it's tit for tat. This is an EF4/EF5 tornado. If I'm not mistaken as the tornado was on the west side of Joplin the debris ball was 70 to 72 dbz from what I remember seeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornadotony Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Way too early to judge. Okay, maybe high-EF3. I've been watching these for years. YOU DO NOT SEE THIS EVERY YEAR. I would be floored with anything lower than high-end EF3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
