Check out this incredible 3D trajectory of the parachuted sensor as it completed three revolutions around the #tornado, with widet circumference with height. The sensor then sampled the “vent” at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe. It reached velocities of at least 140 mph. This is a historic accomplishment in science and engineering by @WillClay25
The impressive tornado scar from the EF3 that ripped across southwest Mississippi last week.
It went through an area that was on fire about two months prior.
ONE month ago today the most insane tornado I’ve ever experienced happened in my home state in Union City, MI.
Anytime I revisit this footage it just leaves me speechless
This tornado was rated a strong EF-3 making it the strongest tornado to hit Michigan since April 2, 1977
Just now finding out about @weatherchannel’s retro option, music and everything, and I am weeping openly. Feels so good to be back baby https://t.co/ksAqfptyKS
Check out these #blizzard aftermath scenes from Marquette, Michigan with drifted over cars after 30+ inches of snow! The state of Michigan has had a crazy month of March! This video is from Adam Gregg
8pm CDT: The #SPC has expanded the enhanced risk region this evening to account for severe storm potential across Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri.
Tornado watches remain in effect this evening stretching from the Rio Grande Valley up into southern Michigan.
Today (March 10) will feature a VERY dramatic difference in only a few miles if you live near the shores of Lake Michigan. And if you live in Chicago, there is the CHANCE of some big hail.
In central Illinois and northwest/north central Indiana, it will be warm, with temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. That will support surface-based storms, or those that inhale warm, humid air near the surface. That, in turn, will support the threat of tornadoes.
To the north, the surface will be cooler. Thunderstorms will be elevated and ride atop a shallow cool layer. Chicago-area storms will be mostly hailers.
Also, the thunder in Chicago may be EXTRA loud. Why? There will be warm air about a mile up riding atop the shallow cool air mass. That will act as a ceiling to the lower atmosphere for sound to bounce off. That's why the thunder will reverberate between the ground and the air at 5,000 feet, causing an "echoing" of sorts.
NEW: Video being sent in from Josh F. shows just how quickly the Union City, MI tornado went from a small, weak tornado to a giant, powerful one in less than 90 seconds. Absolutely stunning.
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+).
