Been hard at work covering this outbreak of tornadoes from yesterday and finally getting some time to post. This morning I interviewed Tony Matulis who survived a powerful tornado just South Gosport, Indiana last night as his house was completely destroyed around him. He tells me his brother, who lives in a camper out back came running in and pounding on the door screaming there was a tornado coming. They had just enough time to get into the bath tub and cover themselves before the tornado hit and destroyed both the RV and home. But, there was some heart warming news as this morning they found out their chicken Wall-E survived the storm! #INwx @accuweather

@EmmaWalkerWx Thanks!!

@ChasingWConnor I drove past your favorite park by Linton ND yesterday while chasing.😀

[Derek Wegener @derek_wegener]

@a_guidarelli Chasing full time would be like being retired. I'd trade the 45-50 hours a week working construction in a second to drive around.

[Derek Wegener @derek_wegener]

@txskywtchr I don't chase full time or go further than 400 miles one way, and yesterday I was screaming like Reed when he's in a tornado. Saw some cool structure, pea sized hail, and some decent wind. I was beyond grateful to just be out!

@ben_williams_wx @WxFanaticCC You guys need a speeding ticket counter on the overlays😂

West of Linton ND

[Derek Wegener @derek_wegener]

@CRyanMauk It's sticky out there! Good luck and safe travels! I may head west after work🌪💨👀

[Derek Wegener @derek_wegener]

@WxScholl @WxFront @MaxVelocityWX Fun fact. If there's lightning, Canada will warn it for a tornado. The warning box will also be a shape never seen before and cover 10,000 square miles.
