3/14-3/16 Severe Weather Threat

[aGDevil2k]

A TorCon of 9???????

I've never seen that before. I get before with a 2 or 3


That means there's a 90% chance of a tornado within 50 miles of your location. Holy shit

To be replaced by an anti-woke Sharpie pen.

Just look at the improved forecast here!

We're lucky the NWS and NOAA are not shuttered yet. All Sharpie, all the time.

 

[Duke Mu]

Yeah, because of Climate Change, the South is the new Tornado Alley. High shear and instability, sucking up that Gulf moisture.

Yep. The local meteorologists down here basically said this morning, "usually when we tell you about the probability of tornadoes, it's just that- a chance. Today, it is a certainty."

I used to love meteorologist Eric Thomas’ tornado warning recommendation that if you’re outside you should lie down in a ditch. You know a day has not gone your way when your best option is laying in a ditch during a storm.

Thanks for the update. My grandson is in Tuscaloosa too. He’s thinking about going to Alabama and is down there with his sister.

Both of the Chick-fil-A’s near my house in Birmingham are already closed today citing the threat of tornadoes, and the Waffle House across the street from one of them has a “closing early” sign. Yikes.

Sheesh. You know it's serious when Waffle House closes up shop.

MS is getting hit hard by tornadoes right now.

First chance for Trump's FEMA to show it's mettle.

First chance for Trump's FEMA to show it's mettle.

They already had that chance with the Valentine’s Day flooding in Kentucky and West Virginia and totally blew it. And there’s been very little media coverage of how terrible the response has been.

Alabama getting hit with multiple tornadoes now.

 

[Rock]

Awful.

Tornado on the ground near Taladega.

Alabama getting hit with multiple tornadoes now.

My grandchildren in Tuscaloosa said they got a lot of rain and wind, but no tornadoes. There was one touch down about 20 miles north of town.

Can't sleep.

The rain here in Georgia is pretty intense and a lot of wind. I believe the worst is missing us though.

Can’t sleep either. That weather heading our way here in central NC. Was going to cut grass today. Oh well.
