Central Illinois Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Will they be surveying the smaller tornadoes as well? We were on the Washburn tor, as well as the 2 other smaller tornadoes that dropped after that main one dissipated. House's roof was ripped off and the front walls caved in. It sounds like their gonna take a look at the whole area I know they did miss a couple Tornadoes that should've been warned up there according to another user on here earlier.Sent from my iPhone 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdgwx Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The supercell that dominated the night had its beginnings in Benton County, AR at 21:00Z and began losing its distinct mesocyclone at 06:15Z somewhere in Washington County, IN. I'm estimating it's life at 420nm and 9h15m. It traveled through AR, MO, IL, and IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Seen some of the damage shots from Perryville and it clearly looks like it was a higher end tornado as suspected given the radar signatures. Trees debarked/stubbed, vehicles mangled/tossed, homes levelled or even swept away in some cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily an EF3 just basing off of pictures, perhaps higher depending on structure quality, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Not bad. There was a decent cluster of reports in northeast IN just outside the ENH. Substantial number of reports farther west in Missouri, but the risks were expanded west on the 01z outlook. Basically had 2 tornado corridors with nothing in between (unless surveys change that), but it's difficult to impossible to pinpoint that ahead of time.

Billy (chase partner) and I were a bit excited, lol. I'll tone it down next time, but that was my first tor and it was quite large, hah. No censor at that point.

hlcater Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Extremely interested in the Perryville tornado. Some of the damage pictures show houses flattened and, in some cases, swept away. Along with many trees snapped and debarked. Would expect something in the EF4 range based on about 30 or so pictures I've seen. EDIT: to clarify, the houses that I saw were swept away didnt seem to be very well constructed. As in, one had a lack of a bolted foundation and another with a basement made of what kind of looked like cinder blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing that low lying shrubbery was left intact near the swept away homes, and vehicles parked in the garages were only shifted slightly at least in a few cases. An EF4 rating is still possible though, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 La Salle county has been pretty unlucky in recent years. Been struck a lot since 2000 (most notably the F3 on 4/20/2004), but they aren't the only place in the LOT cwa. 26 tornadoes in La Salle county just from 2000-2016 (this map doesn't include 2016) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyhb Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Up to over 1050 preliminary storm reports between today and yesterday. Certainly one of the most prolific severe wx events we've seen in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Saw this large cone tornado near Bradford, IL. This storm wasn't even tornado warned. This was the storm in between the supercell that hit Ottawa and the supercell that went on to be a cyclic tornado producer from Chillicothe to Washburn and past Toluca. This storm evolved very fast and after this tornado fell apart. Thinking it may have briefly interacted with warm front then crossed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a different view than you but saw the same tornado and it passed between Wyoming and Bradford. Also caught the large tornado and later rope from Washburn on eastward as the sun set.

Radtechwxman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 These are from the cyclic supercell that I followed from Chillicothe all the way past Streater. This storm was a beast. The two large tornadoes were from the one that hit Washburn. My chase partner Connor took those two pics because I was driving. The elephant trunk was one of the cycles after it passed Toluca. The storm kept putting down brief albeit photogenic tornadoes. Incredible chase day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radtechwxman Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Great shots madwx! We had a great view of that first storm. Unfortunately when the large tornado was down on the second storm we were north of it for a while and didn't have good visibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
