rds dc, I'm sure you can answer this if you have a moment:

Is there anything that would inhibit a tornado from developing into EF4 or EF5 status over the GOM? If not, would it look like a typical wedge tornado you see on the plains?

---

I've never really thought about that. Given the exact same atmospheric setup (there are a number of reasons you wouldn't get the same atmospheric setup), probably not.

I wish I was at the Turquoise in Gulf Shores on a condo balcony watching this magnificent storm and possible tornado come in. I'd probably jump into it because that's a good way to go.

I shat a brick just walking out on the balcony there. frick that

I just got that app from Blackmart. Dunno how to put city/road labels on it though. That one going to Orange Beach looks like the worst

Turn on the storm relative velocity if possible. It shows the tornado much clearer.

Folks in that area - What TV station has the best weather coverage?

Looking for a good live online feed.

Disaster junkie here. Need my fix.

Looks like its scraping the coast about to make a direct hit on perdido key then into Pensacola

It is well worth it. When under threat or having friends/family under threat I just open RadarScope and I am their silent watchman.

A couple of months ago I was on Radarscope and I found a tornado and gave my brother and his family a heads up 8 minutes before there was a warning issued. I do that all of the time. I normally beat the warning by 8 minutes.

I was the first in this thread to give a heads up on the killer tornado. I was watching the south side of the storm because that is what looked bad to me but they issued a warning for the north side of the storm which looked weak and that made no sense to me. They then did a warning for the south side of the storm and somehow acted like it had two tornados. They dropped the north side warning which was garbage to begin with.

I'm not special. I'm reasonably intelligent, fascinated by severe weather and these tools are out there if you want to learn how to use them.

I found it. That's a tornado?
