Disc Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 MILE Wide Wedge per a spotter on CBS11 in Rio Vista Think it might be NE. Several chasers were just in downtown Rio Vista with livestream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhamps10 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Think it might be NE. Several chasers were just in downtown Rio Vista with livestream. yeah judging by the debris signature on CBS 11 I'd say it's NE of town between Rio Vista and Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardWx Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm seeing three active couplets - anyone else seeing all three? There are two strong couplets that are quite obvious...but to be honest there are a lot of smaller areas of rotation that may also be putting down tornados as well. Pretty amazing looking at velocity scans right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 @SvrWxChaser (Bart Comstock) Had a large cone #tornado pass just south of Rio Vista and a larger one just n of town. Wide spread damage. Stopping chase to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardWx Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Was just about to say they had to be seeing incredible hail at any point now. No idea how accurate my GrAnalyst hail estimator is but its showing about 4" diameter right now, but with VIL at about 130 km/m3 I think that's not too crazy of an idea.

Stopping chase to help. hope that people were well aware of this... Large (possibly strong basing off of velocities) tornado during the night.... Lawrence McEwen was just going off on his stream about the amazing lack of tornado sirens in towns in Texas... Said it had been "the 5th or 6th town they've gone through without sirens" and went through town honking his horn... Thank god this thing is not an overly populated area.

Meh, sirens aren't designed for people in their homes. It's an outdoor warning system, so unless there were a lot of people outside at 10-11 PM sirens won't be doing much help. I'm guessing the majority of the area is getting their warning information from TV/radio right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god this thing is not an overly populated area.There's been warnings for at least 90 minutes now, no reason why residents wouldn't have had plenty of warning.

Jim Marusak Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 guys and gals, we need to get the word out herethat given how nuts things are attm between i-20 and the i-35 split near hillsboro, that anyone travelling from Austin and Waco northwards or from the cities of Dallas and Ft Worth south to Ausitn and Waco, that they should not attemptto take either 35e or 35W attm. it's looking like a deathtrap in that stretch, imho.
