It's a mile wide. This is literally the kind of storm I was joking about earlier.
Jesus Christ, these poor people.

Edit: Tornado Alley is shifting hard and I don't like it.

That is a nasty hook echo.

Nebraska/Iowa storm complex has back-built and there's a tornado warning all the way back in Hiawatha, KS now.

It's definitely spring. Wonder if this system will drift to the southeast in a few days and fuck some shit up down here?

Maybe not this system, but Dixie Alley is bound to get more this year.

I think they're more deadly in the south; the humid climate causes more rain-wrapped tornadoes, and there are fewer basements due to the high water tables or hard bedrock in the ground.

Here in Flatistan, you get the more photogenic ones because of the drier climate and wide open fields where not a lot gets hit.

If I were in charge, I'd change building codes to either have basements or above-ground storm shelter rooms, or community shelters. We did it during the Cold War.

Yeah Alabama especially has gotten some pretty nasty ones, as has North and Middle GA. I think all mobile home parks especially should be legally required to have storm shelters since mobile homes are particularly dangerous in tornadoes.

Some towns do have public storm shelters, but they're far from everywhere.

Rain wrapped F4+ tornados can happen anywhere. I got a video from a friend in your neck of the woods a few years ago. He's out on his front porch like a good flatlander and he's got his camera right on a rain wrapped F4 and had no idea. He kept talking about how strong the wall cloud looked. I'm still giving him shit about it 5 years later.
