Thrasher Fan Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Just wow! A few miles further north and this thing would be just vacuuming up Lake Bridgeport. May be doing it anyways. (An actual lake, not a town) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The rotation on this storm is very impressive, got a Red TVS on GR2 with it right now with NROT values over 3.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhamps10 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I have never seen a confirmed tornado basically on top of a town and the news stations only breaking in during commercials. That's criminal. I guarantee they would not do that if there was a tornado in DFW proper. I agree... the ONLY station that I won't openly critque is channel 5? Why you ask.. because even though they have not been wall to wall, at least they keep information across the bottom of the screen giving details about the storms instead of just oh wait until commmercials, Still with that said this is horrible and borderline not following the public's interest that could get them in FCC trouble if enough people complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 This is a really stupid question, but what happens if it hits the lake? Are there strong waterspouts? And how much water do they suck up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what it would do is pretty much suck up moisture, still consdiered a tornado I would think... Looks like on radar it just skirted the south edge of the lake... bad news for Runaway Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torchageddon Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Suppose to be Mineral Wells tornado retweeted by Jeff Piotrowski https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FeoJ_c2Dg8&feature=youtu.be Where has Jeff been anyways? Haven't heard or seen much from co. So about some channels in the DFW region not interrupting programming for anything, if there was a confirmed large and violent tornado that was over 2 miles wide heading into the DFW metropolis during primetime, would they interrupt for that?

Honestly from what I've seen since living here for 2 years I'd have to say not unless they had it live! which is a damn shame. considering instead of focusing on what's doing damage RIGHT NOW they're all focused on Mineral wells for 5 minutes then back to the normal news with the only difference being the radar plastered on the screen (which they don't even do during programming mind you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can be so selfish at times (referring to those who do not like it when their favorite program is cut in due to severe weather). One of these days they are going to regret it, or pay with their lives for it. /rant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 2010 there was a TOR warning for a radar indicated tornado on the outreach of the WIBW (topeka) viewing area in a sparky populated county in Kansas (never touched down mind you) during the Duke-Butler basketball title and they interrupted it for the entire first half.

Downtown Mineral Wells got clobbered, no injuries, going through Wise county attm as we know... frankly if it holds this strength and is producing tornadoes it's about to get ugly, and real fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
