Excellent outlook by the SPC yesterday. Took longer than expected, but no question they did well! Much better than it looked up until late in the event. If you look the SPC has a timeline on Facebook giving the threat timelines and things were maximized at sunset

It could be argued that today should have been an enhanced with the weakness in the hodographs. It has resulted in multicell and QLCS structures galore. I believe they call this "the human Element"

100 preliminary tornado reports yesterday and not a single fatality is remarkable. A testament to the advanced warning the SPC gave and great job by the individual NWS offices. Can really see the individual cells on that map. I think the ability to stream is saving lives, but I'm sure there are chaser convergence issues this weekend

Almost 100 tornadoes today without even a moderate risk posted just an enhanced risk …. Just shows to never let your guard down I would have told you this morning that the hype didn't meet the outlook, but I would have been proven wrong. Outlook was a miss.

I plan on making a donation to ponybird in her honor. IF anyone wants to venmo/paypal me, i will make a single donation in the name of MTWSTL. Venmo is @johnpaulg. I meant to do this earlier to send flowers, but life got in the way. I will make the donation on Friday evening. PM if you have any questions, and if this isnt allowed, delete it.

Very sorry to hear about that also. I really enjoyed her positive and realistic outlooks! May God be with her family and friends. Thinking back I suppose this is sort of somber first for this forum. She's the only one who was courageous enough to share such an important part of her story with us and thus closure. There are many contributors who have vanished over time without a trace.

Never met her but felt she was a friend. I’ve been reading the Caring Bridge posts from her husband. This is just so sad. Same.

Blanket warnings were absolutely warranted yesterday...there were little spin ups every few miles along nearly the entire line and it's impossible to know when one might intensify between scans. www.weather.gov/media/lsx/QLCS_Warnings.pdfThat explains it. I get it now. I thought a few years ago, they were going to ignore small spin ups.

NWS has already confirmed three small, quick-hitting tornadoes. Brookdale Farms EF1 Horseshoe Lake EF0 High Ridge EF0 What is your opinion of the large tornado warnings that cover long portions of a line? I thought a couple years ago qlcs tornadoes were just going to fall under severe tags

Anything to this screenshot i was sent? Scud. The rotation was near Belleville at 6pm. Given the timestamp and the backlighting, that was my first thought, but it was on TV. The preceding ten minutes on radar had a couple hooks just north of eckert's. Just from knowing the lay of the land, I can tell the camera is on the house on green mount looking nnw.

I'm sorry guys, it was just a bad day for me, and I was looking forward for more excitement in my area, I am so sorry, I hope all are well on the east side Every event its something. People come here for information, they CANNOT read things like that. Its irresponsible in the middle of the event. I read that while my workplace was getting buffeted by 60-70mph winds and i had over 75 people sheltering. If the forum had a block button, i'd use it.

Did High Ridge get hit by a tornado? The velocity signature looked very impressive as it passed through. Sounds like it maybe more towards eureka
