Severe Weather - Week of May 22 Sunday thru Thursday

[Cyclenall]

Cell to SW of Memphis has a pronounced hook echo....should be in the Memphis area soon. I have never witnessed a tornado season such as this.....MGC

Neither have anyone else here probably. When I woke up and saw another high risk and a large area for violent tornadoes, I nearly fell over. Looks almost like the Super Outbreak II on the NWS map with all those warnings and watches...Two high risk days in a row happening twice in two months with moderates in the center...

I have never witnessed anything like this. Any long lived violent tornadoes today yet?

This was a close one, but we're ok here. It was odd that local radio did not broadcast wall-to-wall coverage for this, making me wonder this was not a confirmed sighting.

THREAT OF TORNADOES...DMGG WINDS...AND LARGE HAIL PERSISTS OVER
