I’ve worked in emergency services long enough to know that when you roll up to multiple bystanders saying, “stay with me”, it’s not going to be a good scene.

Mesoscale Discussion 0419
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0931 PM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023

   Areas affected...Eastern Illinois...Indiana...Western and Central
   Kentucky

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 98...

   Valid 010231Z - 010430Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 98 continues.

   SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue over the next few hours
   across eastern Illinois and Indiana southward into western Kentucky.
   Tornadoes, wind damage and large hail will be possible with the
   stronger storms. Weather watch issuance could be necessary later
   this evening to the east of WW 98 in parts of far eastern Indiana
   and western Ohio.

   DISCUSSION...The latest WSR-88D radar imagery from Indianapolis
   shows scattered severe storms in eastern Illinois and western
   Indiana, including some supercells and short bowing line segments. A
   second cluster of strong to severe storms is located near the Ohio
   River in far southwest Indiana. To the west of these storm clusters,
   an axis of moderate instability is located from far southeast
   Missouri north-northeastward into eastern Illinois. At mid-levels, a
   90 to 110 knot jet is located across southern Missouri. The exit
   region of the jet is moving across the lower Ohio Valley, which is
   associated with a broad zone of large-scale ascent and very strong
   deep-layer shear. In response, intense convective development will
   continue over the next few hours. Ahead of the mid-level jet, a 65
   to 75 knot low-level jet is located from western Kentucky into
   central Indiana. This feature will create the strong low-level shear
   favorable for tornadoes, especially with the more dominant
   supercells. Large hail will also be likely with supercells. The
   greatest wind-damage potential should be concentrated along the more
   intense parts of line segments.

That SW IN cell is getting ready to move into some decently populated areas like Martinsville.  Cookie cutter subdivisions from hell around there

Yeah it looks like it's about to ride the highway :yikes:

Pretty speechless that we have this many discreet TOR producing cells still. Robards KY area has two possible tornadoes following just about the same path right behind each other.

This. Never expected this.

We’ve had our house in Poplar Grove for 3+ years. We’ve had to go into the basement for storms probably 3 times. Tonight was by far the scariest. Lightning, thunder, flickering & dimming lights. 3 scared pups (and their two anxious owners), but we made it.

Thankful to be safe, especially knowing of the tornado only 9 miles south of our home in Belvidere. Hope everyone here got through it all safely, and my condolences to those affected by the tornadoes.
