So it seems we had a tri-state tornado yesterday morning...but it occurred from perhaps the shortest path-length possible. An EF-1 tornado started in Lee County, Iowa, crossed into Clark County, Missouri, and ended in Hancock County, Illinois...for a path of just 1.34 miles.
Anyone ever seen interstate-induced clouds before? Low level CU developed perfectly along major interstates around Houston this morning. Kind of shocking to see such perfectly lined up clouds. #txwx
Meteorologists from NWS St. Louis spent the last year refining the May 16, 2025 St. Louis Tornado damage assessment. Below is a summary of the adjustments, with more details at https://t.co/T7V9Ujz0OK. Thank you to @MoSEMA_and @CityEMA for their assistance with the data.
@kfor any chance the footage of the Bridge Creek-Moore F5 from the S 89th Street camera crew gets uploaded to YouTube with just the audio from that team, no met team?
@burgwx The pattern over here has been very on-brand for January versus end of the rainy season. This’ll be storm 3 that is just quite intense. That said, the drought basically broke in Jordan finally.
Here’s the best close range view of the Union City, Mi tornado on March 6th. This capture shows the birth of the twister then into a barrel shape wedge. 😳🙏 #miwx#wxtwitter#tornado

@WxGabe@ChanceTColdiron The crazy thing is the clear vortex breakdown as it exits McConnell where it then quickly transforms from a bowl with no condensation funnel to the wedge we came to know.
