50 tornado reports so far list on SPC...

The Springfield, Mo cell is looking very good with a very well defined hook.. Looks to pass just south of Springfield. Hope this avoids any populated areas...

The storm is recycling over Greene/Christian counties in Missouri according to the NWS Springfield.

How ironic that two decent-sized cities named Springfield get hit...

Tornado warning, Rock County Wisconsin, about 20 miles south of me. Whee.

This is from a motorist who called in to a radio station, the interstates IS OPEN, BUT you CAN NOT get off the interstates in the springfield area. Repeat, THE INTERSTATE IS PASSIBLE for folks coming from Quincy to Springfield on I-72, from St. Louis to Chi town on 55, BUT 72 east of springfield, IL IS closed eastbound ONLY due to a grainbin on the interstate.

They say that another tornado is forming near the one currently heading toward Missouri.

The hook associated with the Springfield, MO storm has kind of disappeared, but the SRV couplet is still there (for now). Should be weakening, possibly dissapating, by the time it gets near the southern edge of Springfield.

The area to the SW of Springfile MO is populated and was hit 2 or 3 yrs ago like thisl Wx247 from S2K lives in Monnet MO in that area.

I see more warnings near Sedalia. Same storm, or is it another round?

Gorky · #714 Postby **Gorky** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 11:44 pm

3rd storm heading that way I think :eek:

#715 Postby **vbhoutex** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 11:44 pm

That cell N of Eureka Springs AR has a tvs on it and a classic hook right at the state line. Looks like it could be a big one. I pray I am wrong. It is heading towards Branson.

Another (and final) round of mostly non-tornadic cells. Those storms should be near Sedalia in around an hour, I think. Unfortunately, the one cell that is tornadic is headed in that general direction. Here's the warning for it:

Wow, hadn't looked down that far recently. That's really gotten big over the past ten minutes!

And the Springfield storm is moving through an area about 7 miles south of the town, and the TVS data indicates max shear of 204 kts! That's at least an F2, if not more.

conestogo_flood · #718 Postby **conestogo_flood** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 11:48 pm

New Report.

People are unaccounted for in Springfield, Illinois around Grand Ave.

#719 Postby **CrazyC83** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 11:50 pm

204 knots? That's a strong F3 or weak F4...

#720 Postby **vbhoutex** » Sun Mar 12, 2006 11:52 pm

tracking has it near hwy 65 and hwy 60 in SE Springfiled right now. This brings back memories from the last time when we couldn't find out about people for a few days. :cry:

The reports people are posting make it sound about the same as last time.

I just took a longer look at the Springfiled track. It went right over Monet. :eek:
