Rare that you see a spin up that strong embedded within the middle of a squall line though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderon Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 No reports of significant structural damage from the earlier surprise violent tornado signature in far southwest metro St. Louis. It’s a predominantly rural area where the terrain goes from highly rolling, down a steep incline, and then onto the Missouri River floodplain, and then back up the other side. If this was displaced just about 11 miles farther east, we’d likely have seen a much different scenario going through much more populated suburban cities, such as Wildwood & Chesterfield. .
