snowlover2 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Sounds like a brief tornado touched down a couple of miles south of me. Quite a bit of damage done. At least a dozen cars damaged as well as several buildings. Pics off of twitter of some of the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye05 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 ^My aunt was in her car in that parking lot when it hit and got showered with glass. She's ok though. I'm so glad her car didn't get tossed. She called me in a panic about 5 minutes after it hit saying a tornado went over her car. I think it was a little weaker by the time it got to my house. I first knew something was up when I noticed debris flying hundreds of feet in the air. There was just a loud "whooshing" sound and I watched it rip right through the front of my subdivision. More than half of the ornamental pear trees along the road into by neighborhood are stubbed/denuded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Crazy video and pics. At what intensity do cars start flipping over? F1? Cars aren't one of the damage indicators on the EF Scale, but off the top of my head I can't recall a tornado getting less than EF1 when that type of thing occurs (granted there was probably other evidence to support EF1+ in those cases). It's obviously much easier to flip a high profile vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 No not even t-storm warned. Same thing happened here this morning. No warning of any type despite velocity scans that looked pretty scary. DVN confirmed an EF1 touched down in Atkinson IL just south of here. http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=DVN&issuedby=DVN&product=pns&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1 There was another even more impressive couplet that passed through northern Jackson County Iowa north of Maquoketa that wasn't severe/tornado warned. Have heard there was tree damage up there that was probably tornado related. Don't know if a damage survey will take place with that one or not. The EF2 tornado southwest of the QC from the other night wasn't warned until after the tornado report was called in. These QLCS tornado events have definitely snuck up on several WFOs the last several days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I saw the SPC report and thought it was quite close to your location. Did you end up chasing that cell or just caught everyone off guard? Didn't chase it. Definitely caught most of us off guard. Really wasn't expecting a severe event anywhere close to this area. Was surprised to wake up and see an already mature line of storms approaching well before noon. You could tell there was a chance that some circulations could form on the leading edge of the line of storms just by looping the radar. Plenty of low-level shear in place along the advancing line of convection. Chasing this type of event is about impossible so I just stayed put here at home. Most of the tors that develop with this type of event are very brief, and very hard to warn on. They're often rain-wrapped as well, which is a big negative as far as chasing.
