El Reno situation
Was in Edmond working the Moore tornado when this hit. Sirens, darkness, complete fear.

Yes, but the picture is of a microburst.
no, that was the rain wrapped tornado. It's all over the news here. That video was taken by a meteorologist at the KC NBC affiliate.

Sigh.
That's a microburst.
Is there a tornado in there? Sure, it's possible/likely, but that's a picture of a microburst.
Calling it a rain wrapped tornado when you can't see a lick of the tornado, but you can see a microburst, is a bit goofy.
It's making the rounds because it's a terrifying picture that looks like a massive tornado to a layperson.

the whole thing is not the tornado. The tornado is at the back of the column. If you watched a video, which they've been showing here non-stop, you would see the rotation at the back of the column. There was also debris falling from the sky. A trained, competent meteorologist, radar, confirmed damage, injuries (hopefully no fatalities) all say you don't know what the frick you're talking about.

, you're clearly not getting the point. That image shows a microburst. It doesn't show a tornado. There was a tornado in there, but you cannot tell that from the image.
Not sure why this is so hard.

I'm not laughing at anyone, I'm trying to help inform. That picture, in and of itself, isn't a tornado. It's rain that's coupled with vertifke winds that hit the ground and cause straightline wind damages.
It is encapsulating a tornado in this instance, but it's not a picture of a tornado. However, because it's uniform, touching the ground, and in an area we know a tornado existed, it makes for a horrifying image.

It was not a microburst. The tornado was on the ground for at least an hour and redeveloped about 30 minutes after it left the ground and hit Excelsior Springs, MO.

Well this thread made it 8 pages before derailing

It's not mutually exclusive, but it would be like saying a picture of a yard is really a picture of an ant. You can clearly see the yard, and an ant is likely in the yard, but calling it a picture of an ant is a bit of a stretch when it's definitely a yard.

Yeah...that’s a pic of a microburst.
Posted on 5/28/19 at 11:35 pm to slackster
Here's the doppler signature. Tell me that is a microburst. That's 30 minutes after the original photo so that must be the longest lasting microburst in the history of meteorology.

Are you against the possibility that BOTH events occurred?

I live a mile from where it happened, and having experienced both tornadoes and microbursts, yes, I am confident that was not a microburst.

No, that's a picture of a tornado signature on radar.
When you can see one event, but not the other, it doesn't preclude the other event.
The picture is of a microburst. A tornado could be in there (was in there in this case), but you can't see it.
If you showed that picture to a met, they'd say it was a microburst. That's not debatable.
Fwiw, I didn't intend to derail this thread.

ok, maybe there was a microburst in the photo. It has nothing to do with the fricking tornado that was in there.
