Thanks, I've been trying to follow this whole line, but I know they did an amazing job on March 12 so I decided to listen to them again.

I've been following that Arkansas storm for a while, and if that hasn't had a powerful long track tornado associated with it, I'd be surprised. It's shown good structure and rotation for almost an hour now

I'm thinking of calling this the "Deja Vu Outbreak" - most of these areas were hard hit either March 12th or last November 15th or 27th...

If solid buildings, including businesses, are indeed DESTROYED, then it was likely at least an F3.

It seems we have two areas to really watch. Will the cells hold up into Indiana and Tennessee? Will anything form in between in Kentucky (area hard hit last November 15)?
