We're starting to see a very serious situation developing. Very intense damage to lots of buildings. Scenes of several semis and cars overturned, several homes and businesses without roofs on them.

Did you read the second and third sentences of that post? Seems to me like that matters more.

Mike Seidel just caught a tornado in Braman, OK!
Do you mean Mike Bettes? I don't think Seidel is a part of this...

Well it's nice to see that the Vortex 2 team finally encountered their first tornado of 2010. I hope they don't get into any danger though..

It's neat to see Dr. Greg Forbes out in the field w/ the V2 crew. I wonder why he wasn't able to do it last year?

I am glad Dr. Greg Forbes is able to get out there with Vortex2!  I bet he is loving it!

One of the mets at the station I work at headed out yesterday to storm chase.  He went with Tom Skilling from WGN.  They were being chased by one today.  Amazing video they recieved.  I believe they were with the tornado that was just south of the OK/KS border.

Simply amazing.

Yeah, Tom Skilling is kind of like a local "Jim Cantore". Haven't seen him much, but from what I have seen, he's pretty great at his job. For a time, my headend here in Lansing was picking up WGN. Not sure why it was dropped.

How was that chat?  I didn't see it.  I bet they had a lot to talk about after an unbelievable day.

Most people are either at school or at work at noon, so I wouldn't expect that many people in the chat.
