I WILL have a basement or storm shelter wherever I decide to move to.

I'm buying one when I am able to move back n my house. Looks like about two more months

Tornadoes touching down in multiple counties in Missouri. Hold on to your butts, Missouri folk.

These days, we all really need storm shelters. I don't think interior closets are enough when a violent EF4/EF5 strikes.

My plan is to build a house in the next 3 years. I am now strongly considering one, if not just a very small one for that sole purpose.

The bigger ones certainly are more common in the South than they used to be.

I will admit, the Google Earth interactive weather map where you can track storm chasers and watch live feeds us pretty ba.

That's for sure. Dixie Alley really is becoming the other Tornado Alley.

The climate models showed that to be a likely outcome. I think the severity of some of these tornadoes was a bit surprising, though.

The hotter it is, the rockier it will be when that front moves through.

Yeah, the homes not being made of brick was a major factor. My home is made of brick as well. Of course, I'd rather have a concrete storm cellar, which I'm sure is something we'd all love to have. :good!:

Brick might as well be sawdust when a tornado that strong cruises down your street and cuts through the front yard.

West Tennessee may yet get the worst of today's round.

Not necessarily. Very possible but not always the case

That's what I'm afraid of. I've been monitoring the Memphis NWS all day. Lots of concern for this area. As I write this, storms are firing up in northern Arkansas right now. These are probably the beginning of long track supercells....probably will rapidly intensify

I just can't get over how violent this tornado season has been. Stay safe and take precautions early, west Tenneseans. The last place you want to be caught is in your car.

Pretty strong temp gradient.

That would likely explain the shear aloft.

true but even being in your home when it hits is by far the most terrifying experience of my life. And I always was fascinated by tornadoes n wanted to chase one day. Not anymore

Get that job in NETN. We don't deal with a tenth of what you do. We had a biology teacher retire today.
