@RunescapeOmid Great way to also find out what squares are good to camp where you’ll be safe for both sets, with the exception being when there are 3 sets. If you find overlap, just chill there, other mechanics notwithstanding
TORNADO EMERGENCY continues for Neola IA, Minden IA and Bentley IA until 6:00 PM CDT. This is a LIFE THREATENING SITUATION, SEEK SHELTER! Live look moments ago from storm chasers Brett Adair and Brad Arnold.

@WxLiz Wynne EF3. I was taking an unplanned detour on the way home from Memphis, and Wynne just happened to be enroute. Seeing the damage put things in perspective.

Whoa.
The most violent tornadoes can produce winds in excess of 300 mph.
While researching for my master's at OU, I learned that, theoretically, these winds may be even stronger.
Here's the atmospheric process that makes this possible:
1/12
The May 3, 1999 tornado outbreak is one of the most infamous of all time.
But did you know that it almost didn't happen?
A science article by Thompson & Edwards (2000) showed how 3 unexpected atmospheric developments set the stage for an historic violent tornado event:

@WxGabe I enjoyed reading this. Breaking down your thought process was extremely useful! This is what I need to do if I’m hoping to chase in the future. Please do more of these!
One of the most challenging aspects of chasing is targeting the right area.
Here's a fun exercise. This is a real tornado case in mid-late May. Let's say it's just after 3p. SPC risk is below. How would you pick a target?
Here's how I might narrow it down (reveal at end):
1/16
