BuffaloWeather Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Very strong couplet south of Joplin, look at the rotation on that thing. Several Tornado Warnings still ongoing. This night won't ever end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluggerWx Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Yes, News9 said take cover or get in your car and leave now. 100% sure he said it because I threw my dip can across the room in disgust. So, yes, News9 said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharonA Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 For 6.5 hours? Yup. We had that for days in the Atlanta area in September, 2009. 20+ inches for the week in some places, with half that in one day IIRC (I have notes lying around somewhere, MBY was in the highest-concentration bullseye and I still regret not having a working CoCoRaHs gauge at the time). Anyhow ... the MO storms (formerly NW OK storms) are still going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Not quite sure what to make of this Southern MO. cell yet. It'll look okay, then go poop, NROT got a little up there earlier but now poop again. Seems to be struggling to produce currently. Heard a report of some spotting a funnel, but no ground confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 BuffaloWeather - yeah I've watched it twice already. Really crazy footage. It does seem like they drove straight into. They've could have stopped back up the road and let it pass in front of them! Looks like the training t-storms are trying to inch there way south again around OKC.

Thrasher Fan Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Local PD reporting a rotating funnel but cant confirm if its on the ground due to the tree line. Storm is in a very rural area right now but approaching Cassville which has a population of 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Have you guys seen the video of Bettes and his video on TWC? They basically drive right into it and start flipping. They easily could of parked the car or hit reverse a bit and been completely safe. They look like they wanted to drive right into it. Seriously....What were they even thinking? Remember that scene in Twister where the 'bad guy' is driving right next to the tornado when it suddenly shifts? That's what that video reminded me of.

So, yes, News9 said it. you sure that wasn't KFOR? We had KFOR going in the truck and Mike Morgan kept saying that.

AtticaFanatica Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Does anyone know if there was a DOW out there today? There were at least two research teams out yesterday (DOWs and an OU team), pretty good chance there were more, hearing some crazy velocities were sampled (> 100 m/s).

That's good to know. The couplet looked extremely intense so I've been really curious about what kind of velocities were pulled out of it, and if we are talking greater than 100 m/s then that's legit. Also, back with El Reno in 2011 there was a big issue about rating the tornado based off of wind speed measurements, and now the Rozel tornado was based off of measurements, so has that become acceptable for EF rating? I remember that you were privy to the conversations back in 2011, and I was just wondering what has changed since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
