Major tornado outbreak Sunday...the aftermath..

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Even so there was more severe weather reports with this outbreak. There was 63 tornadoe reports. I can easly see that cut in half to be confirmed reports. I will stick with my 30 tornadoes.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Also Crazy I think the tornadoe event with this was only a small part, The hail and the wind was bigger then March 12th by far. Could you add something about that to its important.

I made a map of the Missouri "Bootheel" region of AR, MO, TN, showing towns mentioned in news stories:

Marmaduke AR
Caruthersville MO
Newbern TN
Rutherford TN


I didn't start watching this yesterday until it was almost across the Mississippi river. Was all this damage done by one supercell?

[CrazyC83]

Yes it was all from the same supercell. The first tornado known from it was back in Pocahontas, AR, and there were also tornadoes in the western half of the Bootheel in Dunklin County as well.

Pretty much... The cell which went over AR and the MO bootheel split at some point into 2 cells following pretty much the same track. They were responsible for the majority of the northern TN storms. Another cell went through cross county towards Memphis, but stopped tornadoing just before the Tennessee border. A third cell popped up between those two late on going through Madison County, TN and has a few reports associated with it I believe

[CrazyC83]

Death toll up to 27 - including 15 in Dyer County and 8 in Gibson County.

Doesn't surprise me. The aerial shots of Dyer county were horrible. It's likely both counties suffered from the same tornado. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see an F5 rating. Depends on whether the tornado hit any buildings substantial enough to give it that rating. Most buildings I've seen which were swept away were wood frame and an f4 can do that.

The Jackson Sun seems to be doing a reasonable job of getting out damage updates from the Dyersberg, TN area.

While it is just speculation, I'd say it was an F4.

All I can say is

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

f4 at least


Also that is as good as confirmed.

[tidesong]

Whoa. That's a big one.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Upped to 64 tornadoes reports..768 severe weather reports. This you have to look back to May 30 2004 to see more severe weather reports which where over 800.

[CrazyC83]

Indianapolis: NOT a tornado. Straight line winds at the strength of an F1 tornado. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ind/

[bvigal]

wow, that's a wedge for sure!! and those sirens give me the goose bumps.

[CrazyC83]

No kidding! Definitely should be at least an F4. Slight chance of being the first F5 since May 1999.

[Matt-hurricanewatcher]

Theres one down...I say the final total will be around 30 so a Moderate tornadoe outbreak. But the severe weather is really what this will be remembered for.

I can't even save a still shot of this.

My Media Player is outdated, and I won't update it ever again. The last upgrade I lost the ability to play my Follow The Leader by Soca Boys, which took me 6 weeks to find, and friend's child ran took the CD into the street where a car ran over it. I've written and written and written to Microsoft, but no reply. I paid so much money for that one song, WHICH I own, and Microsoft's WMP has decided I can't play it anymore because they can't find the license after the upgrade.

Can someone please save me just a still shot of this????? I bought my elderly parents a weather radio several year ago. They still use it during storms. Yesterday, when the sirens went off (twice) I'll bet they didn't go to the basement of their apartment building. They seem to think being aware will protect them, and they in N side of big brick building. Hmmm, I'd like to email them a picture of this! They have webtv and can't watch it online.

Not being able to save a screenshot from media player might be to do with video acceleration. You could try in WMP going to

Tools->Options->Performance and setting the video acceleration to none

You should then be able to take screenshots at least with the print screen key.... I've had this problem before and doing this worked for me

[bvigal]

well, that apparently didn't work. so, I downloaded WMP10. so glad I did that, now I can't see the video at all, it's still saying I've an outdated version, only before after it said that it WOULD play. There is no way in h---- I'm letting c1.zedo.com, kanoodle.ads and specificclick write 16 cookies to my hard drive and examine what else I look at from the internet, just to see that stupid video. (I hate Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
