Incredible eyewitness video shows a massive tornado barreling over cars in Germany. Two people were injured by the tornado, according to police, and 40-50 homes were reportedly damaged.
Saw the
@LAFD
swift water rescue crews eastbound in TN today on their way to the Carolinas. All the way from Los Angeles to assist victims of Hurricane
#Florence
. That's dedication!
Five years ago today, an EF5
#tornado
tore through central Oklahoma. I still get emotional thinking about the devastation we witnessed in Moore. Residents there have been through so much.

Ever experienced winter and summer on the same day? The

station at Camargo, OK was in the mid-20s this morning and lower 90s this afternoon. That’s a 66° warmup! 🥶 🥵

I'm fairly certain that everyone's feed will be full of tornado pics and video later this afternoon... but first, here's the Wray, Colorado

A GoFundMe has been set up for the families of the three OU meteorology students that lost their lives in an accident Friday evening in northern Oklahoma. Please donate if you’re able, to assist their families with travel and memorial expenses.

Ten years ago today, a high-risk
#tornado
outbreak affected much of the Southern Plains. This large wedge occurred near Binger, OK. Watch near the end of the video (yellow circle) as a grain elevator is destroyed and its contents are pulled into the tornado.

Paying my respects at the TWISTEX memorial site near El Reno, OK, where Tim Samaras, Paul Samaras, and Carl Young lost their lives ten years ago today. These great men will forever be missed.
Watch as this grain elevator is damaged by a large
#tornado
in west-central OK on 5/24/11. This storm would go on to produce EF5 damage to the northeast in Canadian County.

I'll have some shots of this
#tornado
to post later. Very large cone on Hwy 183 south of Putnam, OK earlier this evening. I'm on scene of damage. Rooves have been torn from at least two houses in this area.

@NWSNorman
Here's another shot of the large tornado just north of Custer City, OK from Chris McBee. As of 9:55PM, the tornado threat is very low, however winds of 70 to 80 will be common with this line of storms heading toward OKC.

Ten years ago today, we witnessed the untold power of nature, followed quickly by untold destruction and heartbreak. The EF5
#tornado
that struck
#Moore
took 25 lives, including seven schoolchildren. The damage was vast, but Oklahoma came together to recover and heal.

It's the 7th anniversary of my first date with
@pondertart
, which just happened to be the 4/14/12 high risk chase. The
#tornado
pictured was in Alfalfa County, OK.
I just spoke to my family at length about severe weather plans tomorrow. Everyone knows where to go and what to do. Please do the same with your loved ones.
Seven years ago today was the wildest storm chase of my career, with twin EF4s in northeast Nebraska, unfortunately affecting the small town of Pilger.

I was a senior in high school in Norman on May 3, 1999. My mom was a teacher in Moore. I'd always been interested in tornadoes, but that day changed everything. We were lucky to not be affected ourselves, and seeing the devastation firsthand is something I'll never forget.
Got to interview

The eye of
