tornado just north of brighton now, heading towards covington..
This tornado is going to hold together for awhile, so you all that are downstream from it please heed the danger and take safety precautions now.
And this is just the first one.

Watching the radar, this cell is tracking up hwy 70, about to go through Bells. Prayers for everyone.

Praying it will stay higher up rather than come more to the ground.
Text a guy earlier I do business with out there. Said they went to the cellar and it went over them but no damage that he knew of but the area in general did.

It appears to be headed straight towards Waverly now.
Also appears to be losing steam.
Need it to stay high.
One concern of mine now is the Highland Rim is higher elevation than west side of TN River.

That stuff is way too dangerous IMO. ...but I guess people have the right to get their thrills however they want. They get in the way of first responders a lot. (again IMO)

Just started watching that Ryan hall guy and it’s incredibly interesting. Are there any videos I could look up that define all the technical stuff he’s describing, and describe what exactly hes looking at when determining what’s going to happen?

Photo from Wynne, AR. In addition to the damage to structures, note the train partly lying on its side.

I chased with Howie Bluestein out of OU in the early 80s, when he was first experimenting with early forms of mobile doppler radar. Back then, the idea of "chasing" tornadoes was unheard of. We and the other OU Meteorology students were the only ones out there. Then "Twister" came out. Everything went to Hell after that. Now the "chaser convergences" on a likely-looking supercell are insane. They cause massive traffic jams, accidents and put people's lives at risk. There have been moves to outlaw the practice. Personally, I think that goes way too far. If someone wants to risk their life to get close to a tornado, more power to them. Natural Selection in action (the dumb die and the smart survive). But I would never want to chase in the Plains again. Too many idiots. What really bothers me are the "for profit and glory" chasers. They get on my last nerve. Don't get me wrong, I love to watch their chase videos, but some are total yahoos and glory-hounds. I've limited my chaser-video watching to only those with some modicum of knowledge and decorum.

Were you a meteorology student too or just got hooked up with them?
Not trying to pry just genuinely curious. I could tell from your posts leading up to this weather coming, where you talked about elements of the atmosphere looking to be ripe for some really bad storms, were very specific and not stuff normal folks without some type of well studied background know about or understand without digging!

Traits that are becoming scarcer and less valued with each passing day, and I'm not referring to just the storm chaser community.
