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

[Ntxw]

Hope we aren't talking Joplin numbers.

It's been growing exponentially, I fear it's only a matter of time before it may get to there. I pray it doesn't, but it just looks as bad as any storm before. Moore is a big suburb not that different in size and density compared to Joplin.

This really a worst case event... extremely violent tornado going through a populated area.

[South Texas Storms]

Up to 51 people dead now according to TWC. Just heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people in Oklahoma.

Hope that cell west of Dallas Fort Worth doesn't get up to anything silly. Headed due east and tries to get its act together a little.

Needs to be watched imo

Mike Bettes and Dr. Forbes from TWC are in Moore right now and are both on the verge of losing it emotionally. Dear Lord!

[cycloneye]

Dr Greg Forbes looking at the damage says is an EF-5 type. A big tanker in a neighborhood came flying from another place and that is what Dr Forbes said convinced him it was that rating.

Moore is the proverbial town where lightning struck twice. Unbelievable!

[EF-5bigj]

I'm watching the super cell I hope it doesn't intensify.

I believe an F4 hit the town in 2003, so three violent ones in recent memory. That one was devastating as well that people don't remember.

[CrazyC83]

I had to stop watching, losing it emotionally myself. So awful...

[Stephanie]

I don't remember that one from 2003. TWC just showed the debris ball that developed over time as the tornado was occurring. It looks like a big red bowling ball.

I hear you Crazy.

[WeatherGuesser]

Well, the DFW cell ain't gettin' no smaller.

[cycloneye]

You can visit the 2013 U.S Severe Weather Season Sticky Thread to see the many incredible photos and videos that are being posted.

[apocalypt-flyer]

Tornado warning being issued for Norman.

Moore on the edge, too.

These guys are NEVER going to catch a break, are they?

Just to think I wrote this about 24 hours ago. Ominous stuff.

[South Texas Storms]

The supercell southwest of DFW has barely moved the past few hours and it's still looking healthy right now.

[Ntxw]

Well, the DFW cell ain't gettin' no smaller.

I hope nothing comes of them, there's a Rangers game going on.

The supercell southwest of DFW has barely moved the past few hours and it's still looking healthy right now.

I hope that it starts to weaken very soon. All of those people around that game will be in big trouble!

[WeatherGuesser]

It'll pass north of the metroplex, but I don't know what all's up there.

It's almost stationary and feeding off of all the energy surrounding it. Very discreet system. Could be quite the flashflood-procuder for Brownwood county.
