Big Tornado Outbreak March 2-3

REPORT: School destroyed. Many trapped.

I'm starting to think this is going to rival last year's April outbreak. I hope I'm wrong

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF SRN IND THRU OH...MUCH OF KY

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 57...58...

VALID 022035Z - 022200Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 57...58...CONTINUES.

AN ADDITIONAL TORNADO WATCH WILL BE NEEDED EAST OF WW 58... PROBABLY
BEFORE 22Z...ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF EASTERN KENTUCKY AND SOUTHEAST
OHIO INTO WEST VIRGINIA.

PRE-FRONTAL STORM DEVELOPMENT TO THE SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER...
WHERE SURFACE WINDS HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO VEER WITH SOME LOWERING OF
DEW POINTS...HAS BEEN A BIT SLOWER TO OCCUR THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.
HOWEVER...STORMS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF INCREASING IN CLOSER
PROXIMITY TO THE COLD FRONT...APPROACHING THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER...AND WILL STILL POSE A SEVERE THREAT...WHILE POSSIBLY
ORGANIZING INTO A MORE CONSOLIDATED LINE AS THE FRONT SURGES EAST OF
THE RIVER THROUGH WESTERN AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

MEANWHILE...TORNADIC POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN HIGH WITH
DISCRETE SUPERCELLS AS THEY MIGRATE ACROSS THE MORE SLOWLY
NORTHEASTWARD ADVANCING WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL KENTUCKY
INTO SOUTHERN OHIO BETWEEN NOW AND 22-23Z. AS ADDITIONAL
PRE-FRONTAL DISCRETE STORMS GRADUALLY FORM AND RAPIDLY MOVE EAST
NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY...THEY WILL
PROGRESS INTO A LESS STRONGLY HEATED...BUT MOISTENING...BOUNDARY
LAYER. AND HIGHER HUMIDITIES MAY ACTUALLY ENHANCE THE TORNADIC
POTENTIAL...CONTRIBUTING TO THE RISK FOR STRONG/DESTRUCTIVE
TORNADOES.

Henryville High School: flattened according to numerous posts. Reminiscent of Enterprise, Alabama in 2007.

This has been a really bad week for high schools.

CNN is showing behind the scenes weather center with the producer and he is showing velocity images and all. Never seen that before, they are doing blanket coverage and getting extremely scared.

I have the TV on to CNN, there are online streams of CNN but the one I used to use is gone. Try justin.tv or something.

[CrazyC83]

They are now saying 60 to 75 mph wind gusts for me tomorrow all day...
