Discussion (May 18-19-20-21) Moore Tornado EF-5 from NWS

[TwisterFanatic]

Now a house on fire in Moore. Probably gas leak.

[WeatherGuesser]

Chopper pilot on CNN saying track may be wider than then with more buildings affected.

[Cyclenall]

Now a house on fire in Moore. Probably gas leak.

I saw that too, the same thing happened in Joplin and Moore, very chilling similar tornadoes. Worst case scenario occurred again. New tornadoes forming at this second, could be a "major" tornado outbreak. 7 TOR warnings at once now, in outbreak mode. I had I feeling this would be the worse day.

I hope no one is trapped in that house that is burning, and that they can get it put out quickly! Don't let it spread!

Yeah, 5 warned areas and they show people in undies assessing the rubble. Disgusting

Yeah, like in Hurricane Sandy where a whole neighborhood burned to the ground.

Umm...what?

[brunota2003]

The hospital in Moore took a direct hit, it looks like. I couldn't see how damaged it was, but everything around it was leveled.

[WeatherGuesser]

Garvin County - Paul's Valley under the gun

[caneseddy]

KFOR reporting this tornado will be worse than May 3

[EF-5bigj]

That storm is cycling...

[Bunkertor]

Yeah, 5 warned areas and they show people in undies assessing the rubble

Umm...what?

We have 5 torwarn boxes and those N9 m**ons are exposing people who lost home and stuff for half an hour. And that is disgusting.
( OK, the underwear man was on CNN )

[CrazyC83]

This is just...frightening. Like with Sandy, they cannot get to the fire due to conditions impossible to reach! (Debris and blocked roads)

[SouthDadeFish]

God be with Moore, OK. This is catastrophic.

[Ntxw]

I am stunned at some of the scenes coming out of the OKC metro. No doubt this monster was a EF5, all my thoughts and prayers to our neighbors in Oklahoma.

I wonder what the building code was, probably enough to withstand over 300 MPH winds. Insane though. There aren't very many reports of any deaths or what's going on in general, could that mean its so bad that rescue crews can't even access certain points? Like a hurricane.

There is a supercell with a hook on it heading in Joplin's general area. If that thing hits as a tornado, I'm probably just going to take my hand to prop my jaw from off the floor for the rest of the month.

[Texas Snowman]

If this is legit...

[Bunkertor]

If that monster had travelled for another 10 minutes it would have been probably 3 times worse.

[EF-5bigj]

This tornado...if there ever where a EF-5 this would be it destruction is utterly complete.

[cycloneye]

Let's try to post many photos and videos on the Sticky thread to document the 2013 with this event.

[Cyclenall]

Jeff P on CNN stating, another mile-wide tornado on the ground that he is going to catch up to soon, unreal . Don't know the location. Jeff P is one of the best, God speed to him.
