Jeff Piotrowski is about 20 miles east of that tornado. He's heading right towards it
He's going to find something for sure

He's one crazy fella.

I enjoy watching his periscopes though. He gets near the action and keeps it entertaining.

Check out his Periscope if you want some entertainment. He's going crazy over the inflow bands right now.

that video quality is arse

I'm watching. The lightning is similar to, but not as intense as, the night EF-4 Garland, TX from a couple of years ago. I've never seen anything like that light show as we drove into it.

And that radar site just barely makes it to see another day!

he's not on the indiana storm, he's in kansas.

If you check out Springfields radar you can really see that couplet.
Jeff just saw Power Flashes.

Tornado Debris Signiture still very impressive just NE of Fort Branch, Indiana.

Just a batch of discrete, tornado warned supercells, at night, in February!

A couple of cells trying to go up in Oklahoma. Those could quickly go svr with tornado potential:

Is Memphis mostly in the clear overnight on this one? Local news hasn't given an update and I want to know how peacefully I can sleep.

New tornado watch coming for N. TX, OK, and Arky:
Mesoscale Discussion 0230
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1046 PM CST Tue Feb 28 2017
Areas affected...Eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely
Valid 010446Z - 010645Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms may develop in
the next few hours over eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas.
Tornadoes and very large hail are possible.
DISCUSSION...Showers appear to be deepening across parts of eastern
Oklahoma, in advance of strong cooling aloft and approaching the
surface moist axis where dewpoints are in the lower 60s. Due to
strong winds and mixing, the boundary layer remains warm with
temperatures in the 70s and relatively weak CIN. Given extreme
cooling aloft, lapse rates are very steep, with MLCAPE to around
2000 J/kg. Shear is more impressive, with area VWPs indicating 0-1
SRH in excess of 500 to 600 m2/s2. Clearly, the environment favors
tornadic supercells, conditional on storms forming. Several CAM
solutions indicate storms in this area. A tornado watch is likely to
be needed soon.
