June 10-15th severe weather thread

[btangy]

Strong rotation also in S Ellsworth County. Cell also has >4" hail possible with it. Terrible night for this area. Looks like the last of the cells to move through this region, but man... it's like sitting in the ocean and seeing 30 foot waves coming towards you one right after the other.

Where do you guys get hail core maps?

Weather spotter from KAKE is now reporting power flashes within the city of Salina within the last couple of minutes. Very strange because the spotter is saying the storm has passed. Maybe Salina has damage.

Nursing home damaged, lots of police action E of I-35.

Power is on in city? States power explosions were lighting up sky in Salina.

Outflow winds?

The cell cycled. I got tight rotation again, and I wouldn't be surprised if we hear of a tornado on the ground shortly. -55 knots against +35 and +55 knots.

[btangy]

Possible tornado very near Abilene and Enterprise, KS just S of I-70. Very concentrated and strong rotation in this area.

Cell looks like it is becoming more inflow/outflow dominated as it has lost the rotation that was apparent a few frames earlier. Could be cycling or could be finally transitioning in to more of a bow-like structure
