March of 1925. Ah. I knew there was a 5 in there somewhere. Thanks for the correction!Corfidi, Doswell and a couple other researchers analyzed the mesoscale setup of that event using contemporary modeling methods. Definitely worth a read if you're into severe storms forecasting. There are parallels with other notable outbreaks, in particular the Palm Sunday (1965) system. |

Watching Timmer's youtube channel. One of the chasers just watched s tornado hit a house and stopped to check and see if there were people inside. Crazy watching this go down live.
He's on the phone with 911 right now. Apparently an elderly lady inside. ETA lady is not seriously injured. |

Prayers for folks in the path.
We are a little north of it all here in SD, just got a tiny sideswipe with some light rain and wind. Our neighbors in Iowa and Nebraska catching the brunt. If there's anything we can help with in the aftermath let us know, I got room for people to park RV's temporarily if your house got nailed. Can help send supplies too. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By desertmoon: Me neither. My first memory is not at all dissimilar to the first five minutes of the movie twister....(well, no one got sucked out the cellar)....it was 72 or 73, IIRC. I remember coming up out of the cellar and it was just utter devastation. Trees, cars...roofs....EVERYWHERE. THIS is why I live in Arizona. Well, that and fear of giant squid. Odd. For all of the tornadoes that I went through in the Midwest and down South. I have only ever laid eyes on ONE tornado. IN ARIZONA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shit. Hope not a lot of people died. One of the reasons I will always live here. Literally no forms of dangerous weather or natural disaster here. Tornadoes scare the hell out of me. Saw one in Iowa when I was visiting as a kid fucked all kinds of stuff up. Been a nope for me ever since

I was watching from the porch tonight for a bit sounds like there was a touch down near onawa which is 15 minutes from me or so. The hill stopped a lot of the wind from hitting hard but the rain came down hard for a bit which sucks because we don't have gutters. I will be watching for folks needing help tomorrow.
