First of all, I hope all members of The Hide are safe and sound.

I was looking at pictures on the search (Duck Duck) and found this:

FGUzJbjXEAU9ZsB



I don't know if this is the exact storm; but likely.

I saw another photo with 2 tornados and 3 other clouds rotating, but not fully developed!!!

Unreal!!

The big storm passed 30 miles south of us but there was another that went just north of Owensboro.

Yikes!!!! Too close for comfort.

I knew when I woke up this morning and it was 72 that we were getting set up for bad, bad weather like Dec 23, 2015 when I drove back to see Dad and I must have just missed the outbreak by hours as there were fire trucks all over place.

I was working last night till 1000p. I was watching the radar and the storm that hit Mayfield was huge. I kept watching it move and the tornado warning box not going away.

My area was spared as Im a little over an hour north of the worst hit area.

Smoke and prayers to any in the vicinity. I throw it out here, if anyone knows of anyone in that area that needs, send me a PM.

Apparently an inferior Amazon building collapsed, too. Killing workers. How's their "work for us" advertising looking now?

Hope all you guys and families and friends are ok!

Sucky time of year for a tornado swarm. Not that there is a good time.

Why? They are just flyover country insects to him...

We know better... but he just thinks of them as chattel.

What you are referring to is true leadership. It’s apparent by now that’s not part of his makeup. Although in the short or long run the cost to him is almost nothing relatively speaking. But care and loyalty speaks volumes.

That pick was taken outside of Jonesboro, AR but it was from last night’s storms.

They are saying that there was one system that stayed on the ground for over 200 miles from AR into KY and produced sustained F4 and F5 rotation. This broke the record of the Tri-State tornado of 1925...

Jiff bozos does not run Amazon anymore. Of course he has tones of stock but technically he’s not the guy there anymore. He’s to busy with cock rockets and the Washington post now.

I was hoping the dick ship would have blown its load

Nope. Happens quite frequently actually.

Pockets of warm air even just 10 degrees above season-normal air can create some real interesting weather, up to and including supercells. Winter tornadoes are very common and are often the most lethal because most people are not expecting them. Professional storm chaser Pecos Hank had a chase stream from Illinois in 2017 or 18 where an early February supercell was dumping 3 inches of snow an hour and sustained cloud to ground lightning. Same system also dropped a F4 funnel at one point. Tore up a farm real bad but no injuries fortunately... Temps were in the 36-40 degree range on that day but was colliding with a 50-60 degree airmass nearby.

I was standing in the drive way at midnight once I realized the storm was going to miss to the north,and felt a warm humid wind one minute then a cold gust from another direction the next. That was eyeopening.

That's an incredible thing to experience. I have vivid memories of a strong fast moving tornadic front that had passed through one afternoon in late fall in GA. It was probably in the lower to mid-80's that day and I remember wearing short and a t-shirt to school.

The storm hit us like a freight train dropping a tornado about 15 miles to the south. After it passed through the area I remember seeing the edge of clear sky on the horizon moving towards us at probably ~60-70mph.

As that clear sky got closer, the temperature started PLUMMETING until that cloud line passed overhead, and it dropped all the way down to the upper 30's once it had passed by!!! Very cold, dry and windy as all hell and that marked the start of out winter that year.

Prayers to the victims and families of this terrible tragedy. Hopefully they recover any remaining victims that were trapped.

There has been some good news. The candle factory seems to have had far fewer deaths than I'd have thought looking at it. Then you have the good person who brought his grill and started cooking for folks. Showing indeed there are still good people, regardless of race, creed, political affiliation that exist.

Someone was trying to tell me that we have tons of tornadoes, but nobody to see many of them.

That makes more sense now, as we get 50+* temp shifts in very short times all through the winter. If it's dumping snow you'd never know about the tornado until you were in it. Most probably get chalked up to a bad blizzard.

I have driven through one I thought was a bad thunderstorm, until I was talking to coworkers the next day and they mentioned the tornado that fucked up a trailer park 1 mile off the interstate I was driving on.
I didn't have a clue because it was just rain and dark, couldn't see the clouds or a funnel.
