EastKnox Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 44 minutes ago, PowellVolz said: I’m wondering where the northern most WF is. I hope it didn’t make it across the valley. These storms might rotate more off of it. The line moving off the plateau has breaks and offsets which sometimes indicates mesos imbedded in the line. . Hard to say. I looked at temps on wunderground and it looks like a little warm nose trying to push up west of the plateau ahead of the main warm front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runman292 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 I’m hoping that cell in Polk county weakens, because it looks like it’s heading in the direction of my place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwagner88 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 It came awfully close to my house. I could hear the inflow. No damage here that I can tell, but no power. Looked like Hamilton Place over to Collegedale was hit. That’s a densely populated area. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Not heard anything out of Ooltewah yet. I am hoping that the tornado weakened as rapidly as it intensified. The CC appeared to be weakening just as the intense circulation unraveled over Ooltewah proper. However, that went crazy fast and may've unfortunately hit some residential structures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Nasty Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 We are in Ooltewah. Woke my wife up and we got in the closet under the stairs. No reports of damages yet in our area. Rumors there was a touchdown but I'll wait until I see ground reports. Our house is 4 years old and built solid. The wind was howling. Hopefully we have no loss if life in our area. I'm hoping no damage at our house. We have underground utilities and lost power for 20 minutes. Lost it a 2nd time for 10 minutes. Everyone stay safe. I cracked the closet door 1 time and you could literally feel pressure. Im guessing that was just from the main winds from the storm being so strong. Just hope we have no damage Sent from my moto z4 using Tapatalk 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
