SmokeEater Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Maybe cycling? Rotation doesn't seem as tight. Can't really go off velocities IMO, some of these tornadoes have done major damage with little to no rotation present on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeauDodson Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Was a very long night event - Beau Dodson Weather Facebook page - has the events here. We had a tornado move through Ballard and McCracken Counties in west KY with damage - several injuries. We had the sirens going before the storm hit - for those who could hear them. Southern IL was hit hard - a lot of deaths. My nephew got hit by the tornado as it crossed into Massac County - it was weakening - thankfully. Some roof damage and trees down. Harrisburg, IL was hit by an EF 3 or 4 tornado - will see what Rick Shanklin says once he gets up there. Survey teams are out. Worried about Friday - looks rough.
