HoarfrostHubb Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, I was in the tornado, I'm in the middle of the damage path. Looks EF2 tops, last business I just passed had its roof off. Glad you are well. Is that a heavily populated area? Should be some good cell phone videos if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Glad you are well. Is that a heavily populated area? Should be some good cell phone videos if so Oh yes it is, it happened so fast though, and was rainwrapped, we may be the only ones to have video. Now I gotta edit it so you won't hear me screaming like a girl, lmfao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baroclinic_instability Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 There always needs to be care taken in environments such as this, especially when you have strong low level shear (0-1 km), steep low level lapse rates, and very low LCLs in a modest CAPE enviro. Seems like the biggest thing that was lacking today was actually a result of a combo of attributes: relatively mild mid level CAPE (crappy mid level lapse rates), weaknesses in the mid level flow, numerous competing updrafts with not enough CAPE (lack of cap too as Amped alluded). An increase in any of the aforementioned quantities could have yielded a much more sig event. That said this event is still not over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmokeEater Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Looks like ef0 damage in bel air. I'm not trying to judge, but it was EF2 tops. The one building with its roof off I couldn't get a pic of. Didn't wanna get in the FF's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I gotta edit it so you won't hear me screaming like a girl, lmfao. You now have more intercepts than Reed this year. I imagine you never thought that you'd find yourself inside of a tornado when you started the day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlwx Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Will have to see if we get some strengthening of the QLCS south of the Mason Dixon, ragged still. Agree - it looks pretty puny at this time. Maybe our atmosphere is too overturned despite what HM posted last night about it maybe maintaining strength given the forcing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
