I hope Reed Timmer gets hit by a tillage implement, again.
Any time I see Ryan Hall Y’all’s YouTube streams in my recommended, I picture him pointing at an F0 tornado and doing the soyjak face.

“A serious weather pattern change is coming” yes you nigger, I am aware of what Spring is. And if it’s about ENSO, I know what that is too.

“The weather turns VERY different after thanksgiving.” Yes you nigger, I am aware that winter starts in December.


I’m just trying to watch some spinny clouds. I don’t even care if they destroy shit or not they look fucking cool.

Dude still does good work. Even has his own 503(c) that helps survivors rebuild.
 
Poor choice of photo; that was an F5 tornado.
Even though it absolutely does not look like one
I just Googled “Tornado Soyjak Pointing” and that’s the only one that came up. I thought about making one specific to Ryan Hall where he’s pointing at a map but it would take too much effort.

Which F5 is it? I think maybe Rainsville? I know size can be deceiving; still photos don’t capture the rotational velocity of a narrow drillbit that wants to grow into a multi vortex monster.
 
Nah, Rainsville was a monster. It was the Elie, Manitoba F5. Extremely unusual tornado, it produced F5 damage when it was roping out.
Ohhh the one that was an F4 but decided to obliterate a brick house at the end and snatch the F5. I forgot about that.

That makes the original caption even funnier because it was a Leaf tornado.

Marietta has been upgraded to an EF4.

There was also a nasty one in the Guangzhou, China. 5 dead, 33 injured.

Holy shit. An exceptionally violent tornado is ongoing in south oklahoma. IN A 0% TORNADO RISK.
It even has a donut hole on radar, something I've NEVER observed, with a maximum VROT of about 120kts. Fucking unreal.

Likely just impacted this home.

What it looks like.
EDIT: HOLY FUCK IT GOT EVEN MORE INSANE
1714534528485.png

A localized tornado watch was issued for this storm. Never been done before.
1714534576936.png

A PDS tornado warning for a possibly intense to violent anticyclonic (spinning the wrong way) tornado. Possibly first of its kind.
Absolutely fucking NUTS.
EDIT 2:
VROT of 141kts (SECOND HIGHEST EVER RECORDED) about 500-600 feet off the ground, with debris lofted up to 44kft.
This spreadsheet, which is pretty accurate, says that this correlates with EF5 damage. Just straight up.
THIS DOESN'T EVEN ACCOUNT FOR THE FACT THAT IT MOVED AT 10MPH OR LESS.

Damn, that photo looks like another Hallam or El Reno. Don't know the exact distance/perspective but it looks over a mile wide at least.
 
I was hoping this thread was going to be about the recent spate of strange extreme weather across the world; exceptionally wet England, Floods in Dubai, Tornadoes and floods in China, Big tornado in USA.

Extreme weather is great to watch, sorry for the people who get caught in it, hope you're all safe.
 
Spring time in the US midwest and plains.. (tornado alley in the heart of tornado season) No other place like it on earth. Literally.

My favorite time of year. *loves weather and storms*

That one tornado on the first day (i think) was a beast. multi vort, mile plus width. Those kinds are like blenders with smaller blenders inside of them. The only saving grace is that because they tend to be large and unfocused, they usually only top out in the mid strength range. Not always though. (on the EF scale they could hit max much easier) That one wasn't even close to the biggest. The largest wedge tornado was the one that went through greensburg, KS in 2007.. It went directly over the center of the town and was estimated to be ~1.7 miles in width and traveled over 20 miles. It was an EF5 (F3) no less. Destroyed over 95% of the town. It was over parts of the town for literally minutes! All you could see from street level was piles of.. everything. The roads, lawns and foundations were covered by everything like snow or something.



The images from GB, KS in 07 are insane. (only posting a few, click on the attached files for the rest):

Further north from that anticyclonic wedge last night, 4.4 inch hail fell

@pikachudidnothingwrong can't quote for some reason
The largest wedge tornado was the one that went through greensburg, KS in 2007
Not even close. The Hallam, NE F4 in 2004 got up to 2.5 miles. Then El Reno 2013 beat it by 0.1 miles

What an absolute nightmare of a day. The daylight is starting to shine where the tornadoes occurred, so we'll get damage photos shortly hopefully.
I pray that the people in those two homes hit weren't home. There's no way they could survive that, even underground.

By all means, include those.
 
"strange extreme weather"

this is called spring in all the places it is happening, happens every year
 
I suppose this is gonna become a general thread to discuss severe weather broadly, seeing the way it's going, which is nice.

It's not unusual weather (for the most part) but it is still pretty extreme.

Almost .75 mile wide EF1 tornado because there's no EF rating for knocking green wheat flat.

e: Hollister was the one that did the u-turn. The anticylodial tornado created no structure damage, so they have no idea how wide or strong it was.
