andyhb Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Exactly. From what I remember they didn't even mention the updated statement "large tornado moving into the city of Woodward" warning until it was basically north of town. Definitely one of the more impressive early season Plains outbreaks in quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticaFanatica Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just putting it out there...I really think that when the NWS spells out cities within the warning it should be treated as currency. Loss/gain. If your town isn't mentioned during the warning then great. When the tornado warning went up for Woodward County I put on KFOR live stream. What bothers me and maybe for anyone who saw...the KFOR met kept reiterating that the tornado was going to miss Woodward and they were safe. I put on KWTV after the circulation passed and they were first to report a tornado had hit the city. KWTV was basically airing video of the tornado and talking to Marty by the time KFOR was up to speed. Anyone else see this? That's because KFOR is plain awful.

tornadotony Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 That's because KFOR is plain awful. We were watching them here in our met building last Friday and Saturday purely for the comic relief of listening to them scream like wild banshees on the air, not to mention to count the number of meteorological inaccuracies and the number of times they announced the "rating" of a particular tornado while it's in progress.

Chinook Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I would be interested to read the storm survey of the Cherokee OK area tornadoes. I saw that video with two tornadoes on the ground at one time. There is a map showing about 8 total tornadoes here: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/images/fxc/oun/graphicast/image_full3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's seriously so bad. KOCO is really good, but they don't have the copter coverage that the others do, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Here's my non-real time screen capture of the Wichita area tornado, at 0326z, 10:26 Central. I guess when you order L3 data from NOAA, you don't get the super-resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Number of tornadoes by NWS Office, based on their web pages. ICT: 24 DDC: 3 OMA: 9 DMX: 1 North Platte: possibly 5 Hastings: Hastings web page has nothing about tornadoes OUN: 7 My best total: 49 tornadoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
