re: Tornado outbreak, 94 dead, Upwards of 100 unaccounted for search/rescue & cleanup ongoing

TWC starting to get some live video from Mayfield as the sun starts to come up.

It’s very, very bad. Definitely looks like EF-4/EF-5 type damage.

frick The Weather Channel. There are people dying and other concerned viewers want to know what is going on during this severe weather outbreak, and they are showing some longform programming show about truckers driving through snow.

frick them. They used to be better than that.

6 hours later.

Doesnt go live again til 5am

They should be ashamed
Not one single person could open shop and show radar to viewers in its path ? I hope local stations did so that folks could get out of its path

The pictures from overnight are terrible, and I feel for everyone impacted by the tornadoes.
As someone who was hit by the two hurricanes last year, I’ll still take a hurricane every time over a tornado. What those people went through is unbelievable.

Crazy that we are setting records so quickly. 2007, 2011, & now 2021. I get that we’ve only had the capability for so long, but what are storms going to be like in 10-20 more years?

Hope this isnt a global warming post.

This is unreal. We've previously only had this kind of setup before, heralding an extensive tornado outbreak, during the spring. This appears to be just like the horrific tornadic events in April 1974 and April 2011.

I remember 1974 vividly

Wow. I just woke up to news about this tornado and am in awe of how powerful and long-lasting this monster was. It might have been the most intense and longest traveled tornado in recorded history.

. Agreed. And if the Kentucky Gov is right in his prediction of potential deaths (70-100+) could be one of if not the most deadly tornado in us history.

Lol imagine being this low IQ, winter outbreaks are certainly not that new or rare of a phenomena. They are well documented as well. Youre just an idiot.

This outbreak was not as large as those two in terms of the number of violent, long-track tornadoes. However, this “Quad-State” tornado looks to be on par with some of the tornadoes from those events in terms of strength, and looks to have set a new record for length of time on the ground.

Dang that tornado was on the ground at EF-5 strength, from Jonesboro, Ar. through Missouri and Tennessee, to Mayfield, KY!

A prelude to an apocalypse
