I’m about to get a bit of a hook kind of feature. Good thing it’s not a stronger rotation because I’m right in the path

Sure is a lot of thunder and lightning with this line. Almost non stop here already.

Probably gonna be a contender for the most active severe weather day so far this year. Ohio is past peak, but other locations are probably still pre-peak

The entire slight risk will shortly be covered by tstorm watches

Glad you are getting some great storms! Able to snag any pictures?

Only had the shelf cloud pic on the previous page. Wish I was on higher elevation to get a panoramic shot.

Absolutely wild. You almost never know this time of year. If you're looking for another good example of supercell tornadogenesis from start to end, look no further than Bassfield 2020 and now this

Edit: apparently the tornado has been rated a low-end EF3. Two fatalities, 44 injuries

This is a squall line maybe pushing out some strong winds at Walnut Ridge AR. That's my severe weather game pick for the day. Yesterday, well, I picked Gaylord MI. Yeah. Some days I do not turn out so lucky as to get a tornado within a couple miles of my pick.
