Very mild for this time of year. Tomorrow in NJ is going to be a record high in the mid to upper 60's.

In Arizona? Sure.
We are getting a warm spell in the Northeast this week. Should be 50F by tomorrow afternoon and there's four inches of snow on the ground right now.

How common are tornados in December there? This seems out of the ordinary to me, but I know fuck and all about the weather down there, other than basic assumptions.

What the fuck? I... don't think that's normal, no. There's a big winter storm moving through the Great Lakes right now (Michigan and Wisconsin at least, I would expect it stretches down into Illinois some) and up north it's like a foot of snow projected over the next 24 hours or so.
I would imagine this is part of the same system... so why the fuck is it 60 degrees there? It's like 20 degrees or less up north.

Well I just checked and you're right. Abnormal for the Midwest. IIRC, tornado season is summer in the Midwest down to Texas and the Ohio Valley. And the South during the Spring.
Very odd to have such an outbreak.

Not common at all. Tornado season peters out by Halloween down there. Source: lived in Tornado Alley long enough to know what color the sky turns when one's incoming. It's green.
This system is now shredding its way through Kentucky and Tennessee after kicking the shit out of Edwardsville, IL and also parts of Arkansas. According to Twitter, at least one of these is an EF3 or worse.

Deaths at an Arkansas nursing home.
Monette funnel took out a Candle Factory in KY, people are trapped inside.
Courthouse in Mayfield also trashed. Doppler station in Paducah is down.

An army of first responders at the Amazon warehouse.
A first look at the damage in a residential area in Mayfield, KY. Some house are stripped to a few timbers and the foundation. Governor Beshear's statement -- "extensive damage" and "loss of life expected".
A better look at the nursing home in AR that was wiped off the map (click for HUEG).

While searching the Mayfield link I found this. This is no ordinary frontal system.

God damn that is a hell of a storm.
ETA -- Christ I know the areas that system's plowing through right now.
Video of the tornado in Caruthersville, MO your post mentions.
Still framecap:
It flipped a bunch of semi trucks.

You mean the bars on the wage cages can't survive a tornado flinging a 2x4 or Funkopop at it?
No. It means you'll be getting a squall line or some tornadoes within a few days.

Just imagine seeing that black mass to your northwest as the lighting flashes.

Doppler of your Pembroke tornado:
Better photo of the Monette funnel. Follow link for more.
EDIT -- I found the full video that wild shot is from, it was taken while the funnel passed Hayti, MO. Includes downed semi trucks at the end.
More footage of the Carruthersville MO funnel crossing the highway.

270 mile debris track from that monster tornado.
That's insane. Never heard of one staying on the ground that long. Has to be a record

Northwest is good. Generally tornadoes are least likely to head southeast. Which is why the El Reno tornado has such a high kill count of storm chasers.
That damage path is very unlikely to be from one continuous tornado.

I've been in close enough situations, but not EF3+ powerhouses like this. Spoiler -- it sucks ass. Nighttime breakouts like this are the absolute worst. You sit in the darkness with the radio on and listen to every single sound the storm makes, trying to predict what it's doing and whether you're next on its TODO list.
It is, if it's not the cumulative storm damage track -- the old record was the Tri-State Tornado at 219 miles.
System has set a record for strongest storm observed by NWS radar -- 303 mph.
System is winding up another in MO by Louisville. Radar is downright incandescent.
Cincinnati is joining the party, of all places. This system is trying to make it a 5 state extravaganza. Cannot find the stupid radar shot again, Twitter is moving too fast.
Mayfield now believed to have been an EF4 or 5. Shot of a factory destroyed there.
At last found the full, uncut video of the Monette monster funnel that I shared stills/partials of, videographer posted it on Youtube, in higher rez than the Twitter clips.
