This is the most intense storm I've seen in a while.... incredible lightning show with those loud boomers that make you jump out of your skin!
Very heavy rain - lost electricity briefly. So thankful that it came back quickly... it would probably still be out at my old house.

55 kt winds @ 4000 - 4500 ft along this line + numerous tvs's

[CajunMama]

ai9d, could you explain the symbols in the radar. What are the triangles? What are the circles. This isn't a radar i'm used to viewing. I know what they are on wunderground radar...ie, triangles=tornados.

[Dave]

Pink triangles = TVS
Green triangles are the hail sizes, larger the angle the larger the hail...the large green one was at 2.00" at 4K feet.
Red circle = mesoscale
orange = 3dc shear cell
Lines are cell tracking lines divided into 20 min marks.
Red box = Thunderstorm Warning
Pink box = Tornado Warning

That covers the basics of this GRLevel3 system.

I can also add in current damage reports, lightning, shear, and maybe a kitchen sink if I look around a little more.

[CajunMama]

Just keep watching the radar. I'm one parish away from this mess. And thanks for the key for the symbols.

Edited to correct my poor spelling
