My wife just texted me that Mike Bettes and his crew from TWC got caught in it. Thrown into the fields and airbags deployed in their vehicle.

With the delay on the radar scans, it could already be in Yukon.

This could be WORSE than May 20.

Yep, everything is off the charts, could be one of the strongest tornadoes in our lifetimes :eek: :eek: :eek:

I just heard something insane, it had 290 knots gtg on it 9 minutes ago, is this true? If so, that would be easily EF5, probably EF6 if it is on the scale if it hit something. You wouldn't survive that unless you were underground and even then you could still die, a finger of God on the ground.

the GtoG shear was 300+kts, almost seems unreal, the Tornado Hunt Team is just lucky they're not dead right now especially with no doubt an EF-5 tornado going over them

Yes, that is just beyond comprehension. That is May 3, 1999 tornado strength and maybe even more. If it is at that strength and hits a skyscraper, it could collapse.
