Horrifying. Nothing in this whole world scarier than a night tornado. I hope it's not as bad as reports seem.

What about that one lingering around like a creep SW of OKCity? It's just out there alone and looking ominous.

Is there anything to it?

Yep. It's got plenty of energy to work with all alone like that. Looks like its starting to put a hook on the back and some rotation is showing up there too.

That's what I thought but with a full disclaimer that I was only making a SWAG based off of pure layman's conjecture.

Why is it the only storm back there? It's odd to me that all that crud is ahead of it, and it's just hanging back alone and feeling all cute...might feel like spinning up a grinder later, idk.

Looking at reports, and talking out of my arse here, it sounds like an F2-F3. Hoping so anyways.

Mapping some of these streets in Jeff City on Earth, they're straight up residential and probably less than a mile from the state capital.

I'm hitting the sack. NWA looks to be in the clear tonight.

Hope everyone in the path of these storms stays safe.

Looking pretty wicked on radar now. Nothing crazy on the rotation though.

That cell due west of OKC seems like it will pass through OKC proper. That could be a problem

Been watching that one, it's intensifying, trying to hook.

It seems to struggle getting any tight rotation, despite a nasty look on radar. Hopefully that continues until it fizzles out eventually.

Mass casualties being reported per GOV in Jefferson City as it took a direct hit. This sounds terrible

Tornado was a mile wide when it hit the Capital. F-4
