tornado's everywhere
I'm in the middle of a major tornado outbreak. The storms are training with embedded tornado's. They keep coming about every hour. I'm fine at my house, but reports of injury's and damage are coming in. This is crazy...

5. Take care. Frightening weather.
70 in Washington today - tomorrow, too. In January! But, the important thing is to take care of yourself and your family. We don't have tornados here.

26. Sure, Harrison! Been there many a time - so far you look okay - feed of
southerly winds keeps pushing this line to the north - but the west and north of us, they're just getting torn up - will be online till a storm comes, following carefully - nice to meet you

18. Primaries notwithstanding, the media blackout is disgusting
This is a MAJOR outbreak, especially for January, and I wouldn't even have known about it if I didn't haunt weather sites.

Stay safe and welcome to DU!

32. Springfield has not been hit hard yet.
But the suburbs are getting hit hard. Strafferd (10 miles NE of springfield), might have been hit by 3 tornados from 3 different storms.

42. SW Missouri here
I'm not to far away from you...things are pretty...exciting around these parts.

Seems my little town is barely missing the red areas(on the doppler maps), but being on the fringes of these storms is pretty, interesting.

Stay safe, :hi:

Is closed NW of springfield. Springfield is not in a tornado warning any more, looks like the tornado warnings are moving South... They said the dynamics for rotation are getting worse.

51. You look good at the moment but wow, south of you is just one "area of
rotation" after the other. The guy on The Fayetteville station just said that the possiblity of rotation and high winds is INcreasing now, instead of dying down - if this line wafts north again, you'll be back in the mix - you be safe -
