“Keeping people” safe doesn’t require breaking the law. Oh, & as an Okie Native (born raised), & someone who has worked in the this field for nearly 35 years & had multiple driving issues w/ these two, I believe I’ve earned the right to say something.
The expected north turn with

29 years ago today, I documented my first tornado while storm chasing - the
Red Rock, OK high end F-4. Little did I know at the time that we would be dealing with a massive tornado outbreak across Oklahoma and Kansas, especially Andover/Haysville/ICT.

@SkyPixWeather
Agree 100%. However, IMO this IS why we need an intensity rating to go along WITH a damage rating. Seems easy enough. I understand government red tape politics and bureaucracy, but it’s 2024 not 2007 for goodness sake.
Inside the Iowa Tornado - Probe Deployment
On Tuesday, May 21, 2024, our team was able to successfully deploy two scientific tornado probes - PACRITEX (PRESSURE ACOUSTICS RECORDINGS INSIDE TORNADOES EXPERIMENT) - in the path of this tornado.

@SkyPixWeather
I know this is in the process, it just seems like it’s taking such a long time. I suspect that’s where the much of the “heat” stems from. It’s easy to play Monday morning quarterback, particularly within the private and public sector so I get it.

Are we confusing “elevated” with “Cold Core”? 😬 Td 48/48 (100% parcel saturation) that with a 60 kt VROT at about 1900ft ARL (roughly) Clear CC drop AFTER wind farm. Interesting that the CC cross section is representative of a TDS in any other CWA. Sorry guys, I call bullshit

175MPH wind speed via Hurricane Hunter Recon - absolute worse case scenario for northern Bahama islands! I believe 11PM advisory will reflect this. Not good.

of 2) I’ve no real dog in this fight- I am staying home, Work (WearherBug) has requested me to do so. But to threaten those that chase w/ “,reporting violators” w/ that type of overtone is just a dick move. Use reason, don’t threaten. You’ve become an ass overnight.

While these near-surface obs are intriguing, we hope to deploy our Pseudo-Lagrangian static ballon based in situ probes next week (with the same high temporal sampling rate) to sample above the near-surface based probe simultaneously.

While NOT particularly violent tornado by any means, nor long track, the Burnsville, MS EF2 on 23 Feb 2019, showcases 41hPa pressure deficit (in-situ). Very comparable to the Samaras Pratt, KS event. Inflow was intense & Randy was almost blown off his feet power lines exploding

As a "responsible" pro gun owner, who does indeed lean a little to the right, I am more importantly also a father. And a man with a heart. Yes, I hunt, fish & have guns because it's my right. But my heart is broken....this could have been anyone's children. So What's the answer?

OMG people...call it whatever you want - Randy, Lisa & James were right where they needed to be to get the INPAR probe out & got some wonderful data which I will be going over later for peer review. If you don’t have the knowledge this isn’t for you. Randy has the knowledge.

So wait,

, are we now at a point where we can definitely say 100% the SVC IS indeed visible - manifested by the low-level beaver tail/inflow? I am not sure that is entirely accurate. Can you please help explain/elaborate?
@StrmchsrHunterF
Indeed it did…full datasets from two of our INPAR in-situ probes reveal some very interesting “things” happening - likely a large pressure deficit lobe (Orf et al. 2017). Insane video graphic data as well
This one goes out to all my Meteorology Colleagues. Having spent 28 years in the weather world/media and just finally receiving my BS in Atmospheric Sciences - I think it’s a shame what many on air Mets have gone through lately. Kudos to those helping others! -LFD

I'll say it one more time so everyone can see it, I AM pro gun and pro constitution. But I am also a father and I have a heart. A heart that is broken. I'm willing to call on additional gun "support" and changes & recognize something needs to be done NOW! Not tomorrow
