So who reported a large destructive tornado on the ground and why was their no confirmation before issuing a tornado emergency? Looks like some investigating needs to be done

Yeah that's a big 'whoops' if it was based on an unconfirmed report of a large destructive tornado and mid-level rotation on radar. I'd say the FoD is gonna hear about that one...

So who reported a large destructive tornado on the ground and why was their no confirmation before issuing a tornado emergency? Looks like some investigating needs to be done Where to begin... -I believe EMA made the report -There is a long list of social media pics that show classic look alikes that untrained or lesser skilled spotters mis-identified. -There was at least one repic from Dec 10 that claimed to be from last night -There is really only one pic that looks like a possible legit tornado and that was north of Jonesboro late in the life-cycle. -Radar only one time showed a potentially tornadic circulation...also north of Jonesboro..and it was small. -The warnings said "radar confirmed tornado" indicating a TDS... when at no time was there anything resembling a TDS... although lots of hail contamination. -Storm structure strongly favored RFD winds and more of a QLCS tornado risk along the bowing RFD...which is the most this thing may have produced... nothing close to TOR-E criteria. -A handful of falsified reports that were clearly fake because they geolocated to areas well ahead of the storm -If a significant, long track tornado actually occurred, there is a very good chance we would see evidence of a TDS... even with the beam height of ~8k... SigTors are known to push deris in excess of 10k feet... and often much higher. Really, the ONLY thing arguing for TOR-E were the questionable spotter reports. Unless I personally know the spotter, I take all spotter reports with a grain of salt. Yes, they are trained, and very dedicated, but that hardly makes them experts. Their word is not gospel. I trust my interpretation of radar over most spotter reports..especially if they disagree with what I am seeing on radar. I had a guy message me on twitter and tell me the mayor of one of the towns said there is tremendous damage on the west side of town from an apparent very deadly tornado... Trying not to sound cold and ungrateful that nobody died... it must be pointed out that you need multiple fatalities for something to be "very deadly" thank God there were none! |

I agree … I’m thankful that it wasn’t true but at the same time I saw the city of Bono mentioned and I have family there ….. I called my mother in South Carolina and told her to call my Uncle and tell them to get to shelter that they had a tornado emergency…. I kinda feel stupid today after seeing all the facts and not to mention freaking out my family

The hail wrapped up into the RFD was the problem

Looks like some investigating needs to be done I was watching Ryan Hall during that storm. In an effort to protect lives, he was urging people to take shelter, but he was even questioning the tornado emergency. He said every picture that was sent to him looked ominous, but it wasn't a tornado. |

I experienced sleet pellets at 52 degrees earlier in Troy, IL. Warmest I ever saw winter precip prior to that was heavy slush balls and 45 in the early 2000’s under a late March upper level low.

My cousin in central WI is losing it. Sent me a pic of snow on the ground and a meme saying that it was the 97th day of January. A lot people up north are very done with the frozen stuff.

Finally found enough morels to fill a fry pan but just barely. Seems like things are just getting started where I hunt...there's some very fresh greys just coming up. Might be a nice flush coming on after the warm weather later this week with all the rain but we'll see. Easily the slowest start to the season I've ever seen with these frequent cold snaps but far from the latest start so it's an odd season so far. My first find was two full weeks ago and it's barely advanced since. Seems like only the earliest spots have flushed so far.
Me and a buddy went to Shawnee Forest Easter Sunday and only found one small yellow. It seemed like it hasn't even really started down there yet. Very odd.
Good luck out there!

Found four sacks full of morels on Saturday. Looked again today and came up empty. |
