The actual condensation funnel is not even half the size of the actual tornado

 

[Gunnerclone]

Violent, AT LEAST a mile wide wedge per chasers.

Brad Arnold is freaking out. Definitely a killer tornado.

CC is off the charts. I’ve never seen higher.

 

[ISUcyclones11]

Multi vortex showing on channel 7.

that production is completely asleep at the wheel for this. They're showing light damage in Lincoln while a monster tornado is about to hit Bennington lol

 

[Gunnerclone]

Might be losing a little steam per the last scan. Doesn’t mean anything because it’s a recycler, but might skip over a town.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Hoping that everything will be lined up by the time this gets to Central IA.

I'm about 15 miles SE of Omaha, really weird weather. Cool and rainy until about 230, got really hot, temp jumped 10 degrees in an hour. Clouds are just starting to roll in.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Gotta wonder what part the recent Moderate risk day busts played in the NWS not going Moderate today.

Dude was just in the massive funnel north of Omaha

Lol, not at all. About the most normal time of the year for them.

April and May is peak tornado season

 

[FDWxMan]

Starting to move into peak season for Iowa. June is most common month. May is very active as well.

This chart is Iowa tornadoes only.

 

[CychiatricWard]

What does the Des Moines area look like?

 

[theshadow]

Storms running a train on the Omaha metro right now. More warnings popping up.
