nw baltimore wx Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 That's pretty incredible. Toward the end, it looks like the tornado is flipping the neighborhood the bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I posted other angles of that tornado from other chasers last page. Its nuts. Crazy how close they all were able to get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had numerous friends recommend over the past two months to subscribe to HBO Max (like we need to subscribe to one more streamer), even if on a temporary basis, just to watch "Mare of Easttown" with Kate Winslet. So we did...and WOW. What an incredible series, that perfectly captures the slice of life that can be southcentral/southeastern PA. Best thing I've seen in decades. Great story, incredible cast, with a few major (and mostly unforeseen) plot twists thrown in at the end. Ms. Winslet is sublime...too many people want to define her by Titanic, which is criminally unfair to her and her talent. So. Like several of our friends, I'll recommend to you -- even if you don't want to shell out for HBO Max for the long-term, do it for just one month to watch this show. Excellent stuff. Of course, now that we HAVE HBO Max, we're sticking around for Chernobyl, Hacks, to catch up on Big Love and other older series, etc, etc. Expand I saw that featured but haven't seen it; I'll add to my list before my 6 month subscription ends. Chernobyl was SO GOOD, you'll love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toward the end, it looks like the tornado is flipping the neighborhood the bird. Expand Fun fact: that was actually a landspout. While still technically a tornado, it forms differently than other tornadoes. The storm it formed from was still forming, there were no updrafts and upper air rotation, all the rotation came from ground level. Most landspouts are long and skinny that like because its rotation is on the ground. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked quite laminar, and didn’t seem to obviously connect to the cloud base from the videos I saw, it just kinda faded at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landspouts can still cause damage, I believe a farm was damaged last night from that one. But its easier to get closer as the rotation is much more compact to the funnel itself vs a much larger area in a tornado from a supercell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes, actually I have seen 2 (yes 2!) of these in the years while flying into Denver airport, both slightly off to the NE. We landed just like normal too lol.

PhineasC Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I can't remember the last time it felt so jungle-like out there. I guess it is the combo of the heat/humdity, the abundant rain, and the cicadas? The plants around my yard are growing like crazy. Some huge thick weed grew like 5 feet in a couple days right out of a bunch of bushes I just trimmed in May and already need to be trimmed again. I have been finding tons of insects other than the cicadas all over the place too, weird ones I can't recall having seen before. Found a snake swimming in the pool and had some baby deer sleeping in the yard near the house. It's nuts outside now, just a cacophony of noise and wildlife. I guess some of this might be that many other animals go nuts when the cicadas emerge and become more active to feed, that may be a part of it.

Expand We had the "5 o'clock alarm" in my near-Philly, South Jersey neighborhood when I was growing up in the '80s. The thing would go off almost every day. We always figured it was to help parents get their kids inside for dinner, but when I think about it as an adult and being mindful of the Cold War tensions of the time, it could well have been an air raid siren.
