This image of the 2024 Lincoln, Nebraska Tornado reminds me of the 1990 Hesston, Kansas F5. But there's no question, the Hesston tornado was significantly stronger than the Lincoln twister.

Tornado yesterday in Kankakee Illinois

[Jim Bishop @StormgasmJim]

The multiple vortex structure of this tornado, especially the horizontal vortices, is indicative of EF4 intensity from a visual perspective. This tornado looks violent.

One of the more impressive tornado videos we've received in my time here. This from TJ Second in Union City. Looks like a strong, multi-vortex tornado. #MIWx @wwmtnews @NWSIWX

This is the best perspective I've seen of the Union City, Michigan tornado. Good lord, it just tore up everything in its path, wouldn't be surprised if this was intense (EF3+).

@SimonStormRider That quickly became a night chase. Hard to believe it’s been 25 years!

[Jim Bishop @StormgasmJim]

@SimonStormRider @shaneadamsmusic @mikeumsc Fun day. I later discovered from one of my professors that supercell produced a cold pool that inhibited other storms later that day which would have had tornado potential. Funny because I had a great chase. All about the experience!

@StormgasmJim, @Thomascat81, & I chased a low-topped supercell near Ada, Oklahoma, on a 'northwesterly flow setup'. It produced large hail, a rotating wall cloud, & a tiny funnel cloud. This was one of my earliest chases. #OKwx

[Jim Bishop @StormgasmJim]

RT @Osterhout1993: Incredible funnel cloud over top an oil rig near Quanah! #txwx
