I think the day of the Oklahoma City 1999 was like that... I was working at a company, Weather Service International then ... and I remember a single pixel on the radar scope and three sweeps later it was 5 pixels with one 55 dbz, and then three sweeps later is was a 68 dbz core clear to 35 k and a tor warned cell. I watched it for many miles as it bee-lined for the city that faithful late afternoon/evening. It was amazing watching that from zygote to monter, and eerie because as you watched and knew OKC was standing literally right on its trajectory ... you're powerless to stop it. I think at one time the radar panned 7 or 8 concurrent hooks spread out Expand I remember that day extremely well...was watching TWC and local news. One of the former CT meteorologists (I know his name but will butcher the spelling so out of respect I won't mention it) had jused moved to the OKC area not long before this...but that local news station (and I'm sure others) were covering it. Sickening to watch. That event though did lead to some incredibly ground breaking research.
