DanLarsen34 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I can’t upload the CC loop, but There’s debris falling out of the sky well out of ahead of the super cell. There’s a very high likelihood this was an EF-4 or EF-5 that just tracked through Jefferson City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 This will likely be the deadliest tornado in several years. Hopefully it didn't hit a major mobile home park or it's going to be even uglier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Reimer Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 The HREF is being aggressive with the tornado probabilities for this afternoon and evening (May 23, 2019). I haven't had a chance to dig into the actual model data yet, but I am still worried about a messy convective evolution with some VBV showing up.

That's consistent with damage reports, it looks to have went NE right up the south side of US 54, then along maybe Adams or Monroe Streets.
