Severe Weather Season 2012

3rd Tornado Watch might be on the way

[toxictwister00]

This is interesting but I don't have a TV to watch the coverage. Is there anything online I can watch in regards to this outbreak?

KATV is running a live stream on the severe weather.

Storm west of DeWitt, AR looks ugly.

EDIT: It's now moving NW of Dewitt, AR so it looks like they will avoid a direct hit.

[Mr. Rainman]

Tornado near Wheatly, AR, is looking to move just north of downtown Memphis.

What are the chances of this twister hitting downtown Memphis?

[Mr. Rainman]

Judge for yourself...the warnings are in place, the red dot is centered on downtown Memphis. I'm not sure, but I'd say there's greater than a 50% chance that it could happen.

I'm just northeast of TMEM. Nothing in the way of severe weather yet.

Just when I thought the tornado threat was taking a little breather....



Here comes two new warnings...



Regardless, the hail threat is just as bad right now.

[Mr. Rainman]

New tornado warning out...and Memphis is in the dead center of it.

[Zach]

Interesting how the velocity isn't mixing the colors a whole lot..

At the surface there hasn't been much rotation. It's mostly been in the mid-upper levels. The image below is SVR Tilt 2.5 opposed to 0.5 being at the low levels.

Reports have been coming out that a community called Paradise City in Trussville, AL has been completely destroyed. Many people are trapped and hospitals/Emergency Management are going to their mass causalities plan.

Debris Ball heading toward Maplesville, AL. Not good, not good at all.

I was in the middle of the Tornado Warning south of Memphis. It was awful. It bowed out right before it hit us, so we got 70+ MPH straight line winds and quarter size hail. Luckily, our power didn't go out.

My area, it's April 27th all over again.
