the ghost of leroy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I was right behind that Salina thing and saw nothing I did see damage to the sign for the orphan train museum near MM245 but it was isolated and probably straight line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searched google for this image and nothing else came up so I assume it must've been taken by this guy (who is apparently a Kansas State Rep). One of the better looking tornadoes of the day, in addition to the Waynoka, OK tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderon Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 That pic is fake. There'd be more field green up and you can see that stand of trees to the right is bare with no greenery, which is definitely not the case in that area right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Reimer Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looks like the southern half of Norman got hit hard with two severe storms a bit earlier this evening. Lots of trees and powerlines down. No power at my place in Southeast Norman, but luckily the car's inverter is powering my office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 For some reason...I think because of the likely location of the highest tornado threat...tomorrow reminds me of some of those late May 2013 days. Have a weird feeling that something big could happen, despite better judgment of things likely being very messy... NAM and 3NAM both support an impressive parameter space tomorrow across Central OK and other areas possibly as well. Regardless, lots of uncertainty regarding tomorrow at this point given possibility for morning convection + potentially early CI. Seems, IF instability and moisture is not cleared out by morning junk, that an enhanced tornado risk could prevail with any supercells in the afternoon before upscale growth likely occurs, have some pause to the tornado threat though as the low-level wind profile honestly does not feature that much turning tomorrow in the lowest 3km AGL, owing to the same 700mb meridional flow we saw today on the VNX and ICT VWPs. But thinking LLVL shear should also be a bit better earlier on (I.e, not as meager), overly a localized area. Of particular concern to me is the likelihood that we get one or more OFBs across central and northeastern OK tomorrow afternoon (which would obviously increase the tornado threat locally). Any higher-end severe threat (very large hail, possibly strong tornadoes) will rely on strong instability developing... In addition... any strong tornado threat should be relegated to supercells interacting with boundaries as it sits right now IMO, perhaps that could change as mesoscale details evolve late tomorrow morning/early afternoon.
