PHill is a bit of a mess by and north of Doanes Park.Has anyone heard about how much damage there was in Pleasant Hill? Also heard a rumor of a touchdown near or on the state fairgrounds.
NWS now talking outbreak for OK. Not the place to be today unless you are a chaser.
I don't know, I sat for more than a couple hours watching Ryan Hall's close up coverage of the storms and was completely fascinatedWell unfortunately many people live in and with this is classic spring in the plains weather. They didn't coin it "tornado alley" decades ago because it sounded cool.
And as for your "unless you are".............Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras and Carl Young would like a word. The fewer "qualified" attention whores running around trying to get "shock jock" footage the better. We don't need to get up close and personal with every storm. There are more than enough phones that can record from people who actually live in these areas to give us an idea.
And the technology the local stations have to locate the storms is very good. Watching channel 5 with Brad Edwards was enough. Hook echo's, debris signatures.............don't need to go "live on the scene" to see first hand what destruction is being caused.
Oklahoma has a huge risk today. 45% chance of having a tornado within 25 milesAll you meteorologists out there... who is in the crosshairs today or tomorrow for tornadoes? Are we going to see a repeat of yesterday anywhere today?
"Ummmm should we get away from the window"
uh, yeah.
"Coming right over us" - that guy has seen some **** in his life to speak so calmly and casually about the tornado going over him.
Probably safer in there than some houses.If you HAVE to get caught in a vehicle getting hit by a small tornado a 100 to 200 ton locomotive is probably your best option.

Yeah it's humid here.It is a moist day in Madtown, that's for sure.
That actually occurred by me. It was January 7, 2008, 70+ degrees. Tornado was an F3 at its strongest, destroyed a good part of an apple orchard too.Especially if you can get it stopped before the tornado hits so there's no forward momentum from the cars behind. I remember seeing a video of one where the train was stopping and some cars in the middle got blown off the tracks and the ones behind it came barreling in to the train in front and there was a hazardous materials spill
2008 was quite the year for weather in Iowa iirc.That actually occurred by me. It was January 7, 2008, 70+ degrees. Tornado was an F3 at its strongest, destroyed a good part of an apple orchard too.
Yeah it's humid here.
