We are now at climo peak in terms of tornado count. 2014 is very likely going to end up in the lower percentile, and almost a good bet to be below average for the year as whole in terms of count. It mostly goes down from here and widespread outbreaks in large quantities (though they still can occur) are not as numerous as spring time. It's going to be a near impossible climb back to average statistically and above average looks unreachable realistically. Whatever has been dragging it down the past few years continued in 2014.

There's a PDS tornado watch for NE Nebraska and W Iowa with tornado probs of 90/80 active right now.

A thread for this severe weather event doesn't seem to exist yet.

I meant to make a thread for today but completely forget. And what a day it was.

At one point, there were 3 simultaneous wedge tornadoes doing damage from one supercell. Two of the wedges combined to form one enormous monster that had a satellite stovepipe revolving around it.

This supercell will be studied by meteorologists for years to come.

Nothing is going to beat this photogenic supercell and pray for those that were in the path of this rare 3 major tornadoes at the same time

I'm at a loss for words with this one, really didn't see this one coming whatsoever. Even during quiet or record quiet years, something always insane occurs and this was one of the 3 or 4 for 2014, and no doubt overall for weather. Can't believe I couldn't track this in real time, flew past me! :grr: :grr: . I heard something on TWN on TV about duel wedges in one shot and normally the on-air presenters don't go off their planned discussion but I wondered how this was happening as it only happened a few times in recorded history.

I can only pray to God that someone got all this on video from start to finish.

We now have a 2014 "image" or representation of something that was caught in 1965 in black and white and really hasn't been seen since in to this extent, being that of wedges. Can't wait to go through the radar and velocity data, maybe even duel-pol on this insanity.

Much less severe was a suspected EF1 tornado in Verona WI, which resulted in damage to several homes. Some structural damage and power outages in portions of Madison from the main rain storm.

At ~4 mi away, the wind was rather loud just after midnight, but clean up seems to be going well. It is now clear and sunny in the low 70s, so that helps.

Yesterday I was watching the live coverage of the two tornadoes moving in tandum. It was amazing! I have seen waterspouts, several at the same time but nothing like this.

The Stanton tornado, which formed from the same supercell that produced the twins but before those two developed, has been given a rating of at least EF3. The dominant twin that moved through Pilger has been rated EF4. No word on the other twin yet.

Upgraded to EF3.

Really? I guess my husband really can sleep through anything! I had to shake him awake to even hear the tornado alarm, and he told me I was imagining things. :roll: It was loud, but I hadn't realized it was that violent. With luck we will not have a repeat tonight. Can someone direct me to a tutorial on how to read the sever weather information? I recall something about CAPE values, but I don't really understand them... Or would this question be better in another forum. (Thanks in advance.)

Yet another day of crazy supercells.

A supercell began in northeastern Nebraska, near Hartington. Within a favorable environment, this cell quickly produced a tornado that grew in width to at least a mile wide. Its radar signature...223kt...is the strongest I've ever seen behind El Reno. It tracked into the northern side of Coleridge and sat for several minutes. The full extent of damage there is unknown, though reports are that homes and farms have been destroyed. It then began to cycle, and--just like yesterday--produced 2, if not 3, simultaneous cone tornadoes.

While I don't know of any pictures for this one, dual pol confirms a tornado touched down south of Humboldt and quickly intensified to the "violent' (EF4/5) territory. 186kt gate to gate shear.
