Rotation starting to tighten up in Washington CO. All I gotta say is although we only got a very quick view going east on 44 is that this tornado was NOT SMALL. You didn't happen to get a pic did you? |

All I gotta say is although we only got a very quick view going east on 44 is that this tornado was NOT SMALL. You didn't happen to get a pic did you? We tried. But only seen it as when we were nearing Bourbon for less than 10 seconds. We got off at Bourbon and went up those hills to try and get you a pic but it was rain wrapped that quickly. When we originally seen it it was very clear but I can guarantee you this was on the ground before Cadet. We also ran into nickel size hail. |

Holy freaking hook echo in Ste. Gen county. Very strong RFD with the inflow wrapping in forming a BWER...if that doesn't have a tornado on the ground it's trying hard. |

There must be some very large hail near Bloomsdale. 75dbz returns colocated with low CC.

Supercell out near Silex is rotating... Yeah that storm has had some elongated rotation for a while, and it's looking pretty good too. I suspect it may be somewhat elevated though... |

Storm heading into St. Gen looks to have two mesocyclones.

If you can watch Chris’s Facebook feed may be beneficial. It’s doing great job keeping people up to date.

Here my location. You can see I was in Sullivan by the time I took this screenshot. But it was sited as I was going up the hills maybe a mile before Bourbon looking East/Southeast. In case a survey crew is sent out I’m posting this image and the red X where I believe the tornado was when I seen it so they can look for destruction west of where the first confirmed touchdown came because I know for a fact that this was on the ground before then.  |

Here’s the first cell that brought us nickel size hail when we went through St. James. I’m not sure cause I can’t go back in radar enough but this might be the same cell that hit cadet. It had weak rotation at the time of this pic but lots of lowering around the cell.  |

Any updates from St. Gen? checking in from Denver, from what I’ve seen and heard it was just a funnel cloud that went over StG. Definitely had a strong couplet there for a while. Surprised it didn’t touch down |

Things fading a bit down here, so looks like I won't have to worry about the hail. Severe development west of the metro though. Spring has arrived!

This might have been the absolute worst tornado warning ever issued.  |

Some killer looking back side if I do say so myself. This is looking east southeast toward Mt. Vernon from Mascoutah.  |

I went back through the radar scans and there was definitely strong rotation close to the area you highlighted (a bit further south actually). Now I didn't see any obvious debris signatures but that doesn't necessarily mean anything of course. Probably wouldn't hurt to submit a report. |

This might have been the absolute worst tornado warning ever issued. Yeah I noticed that too and almost commented on it. Not sure what the thinking was there... |
