eyewall Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 This is like a freaking horror movie... https://www.facebook.com/28storms/posts/786701288009047 EDIT: Video is obviously disturbing. HOLY HELL why did he not stop and help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrasher Fan Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 It may be going between Newark and Newport, but a turn either way could go into one of them. Google maps shows what looks to be a nuclear power plant in between those towns. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Guys, let's hold with the premature EF calls, obviously this is likely a violent tornado, but let's wait. This. I mean, it's tempting to try to guess exactly what level it is but it just can't be done with any sort of consistent accuracy unless you're out there surveying. IMO, only thing that can be said with confidence (based on the limited amount of pics and what we've seen on radar) is that it's in the EF3+ range.

wxeyeNH Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Google maps shows what looks to be a nuclear power plant in between those towns. Sigh. If you zoom in it looks like a big coal power plant between those 2 towns, not nuclear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 You heard right.. I'm seriously sick after watching that. Why the hell didn't that SOB at least stop and let people in his car? The only thing worse than driving by........ is FILMING it while driving by and then posting it on Facebook while people are obviously in major distress. Maybe the guy did stop at some point and help but it wont play well for chasers if he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
