The Prius 2.0. Coming up to 300k miles soon. The tornadoes my Prius have seen!! Awesome drillbit. Lighting, contrast supreme. Ropeout was incredible. @ReedTimmerUSA@Toyota@Ginger_Zee 6/11/26 #ILWx
These needle-sized drillbits tornadoes fascinate me.
Anecdotally, they seem to be somewhat common across the Corn Belt during the summertime.
They probably pack EF3 winds into a tiny radius just 3-5 feet wide, but rarely cause EF3 damage because those winds act so briefly.
PSA for all and special epilogue for Shane: the Storm Prediction Center has upgraded their forecast tornado risk for today.
The potential exists for several to numerous tornadoes and a couple EF2 or EF3 tornadoes IF storm mode cooperates. This is reflected in their 8 AM outlook.
Documented 3 tornadoes 6/10/26. Garden Grove IA, South of Kirksville MO, and east of Sperry MO. Missed Unionville. Congrats to y’all that were on that supercell.
@SirlinJohn@LaneFatherreeWX I think it’s amazing to experience. Supercell encounters of a lifetime. Now the northeast Kansas base? My storm intercept tab is minimal. Priceless memories
