High Risk of tornados - US - 10-5-2010

John2009

Hey guys and here we go again with another High Risk of tornado's across SE Kansas, E Oklahoma touching extreme SW Missouri.
The charts and model data is off the scale with values concerning today's outbreak, check them out here

http://www.twisterdata.com/

The forecasters at the SPC (Storm Prediction Centre) are concerned with today's severe weather, calling for it to be a "Historic Outbreak" :eek: with long-track violent tornado's, with a possibility of a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) being put in place and these storms are going to be flying along at about 50mph.

All's quiet now in Tornado Alley,



Some streams here, which will have alot of chasers active later

I'll post as much information as i can with radar images of the main supercells and which chasers are on them, going to be pretty mental out there later this evening.

Enjoy

Tyler's enroute Wichita at the moment,

My advice here to others that are viewing is when your on the live chase page of either Severestudios or Tornadovideos which ever chasers have the most viewers are onto something or else have a tornado on cam.

TVN have some chasers close to the tornado warned cell in NW Oklahoma,
check out their live page and who ever has the most viewers click their link

My laptop at the moment is running horribly slow because of so many windows,radar and streams open and all i have is a little Celeron M CPU ,
it'll probably catch fire soon

John2009

All the highest viewed streams on each chaser site are on this storm

Thanks, its nice to be able to hear whats going on too.

Aside from this, i installed grlevel3, and update package,but it is not running. Does it normally take a long time to load or something. I checked it in process viwere, and it shows as using 4,756 kb.

Big chase day yesterday 37 tornado's reported with lots of damage being done and unfortunately reports of up to 5 people killed during the storms

The storm chasers sites got severely overloaded last-night, i could bearly get 2 live streams to work and my radar program wasn't updating.

Lots of the professional chasers streams mysteriously dropped aswell as they neared the best action, i guess there was money to be made yesterday by being the first to get your tornado footage on air with the TV stations last night :rolleyes:.

Did anyone here actually see any tornado's from the streams?

I saw probably 1 funnel cloud and then bang stream down, big rush then to find another stream and they were all down, typical.

Some youtube clips that i could find, storms were moving very fast

ps watch clip 4 with the white van :eek:

delw

saw a funnel cloud but like u streams kept goin down,was following tyler when he was in middle of super cell heavy rain&was sayn tornado warning issued when guess wat his stream went down again :mad:

John2009

@ delw - I do understand that alot of the professional chasers need to make a few bob while chasing to cover expenses, gas, food etc,
but to have a great reliable stream leading up to the area and then it goes tornado warned, then there's a confirmed tornado on the ground and as they get closer 'oops' stream gone for maybe the duration of the tornado.

It's frustrating more than anything else when you have their stream going for like an hour before hand, getting excited seeing the storms explode in the distance and anticipating (sp) nice live footage of a tornado and the stream goes down.

Then your scrambling back to the chase page seeing who has anything in sight and the site takes forever to load if it does at all.

That's my moaning out of the way , i'll still watch tho' in the hope of seeing a monster F5 roaring across an open field

delw

i agree wit u john2009 that it is frustrating when stream goes but fully understand that money has to b made but the chase is fasinating&when u do see a funnel or tornado on the ground its worth it when it does little or no damage to life or property

I am surprised your laptop didn't explode looking at the amount of windows you had opened on that screengrab! :eek: Have your tried using tabs instead? Not sure would it make much of a difference on the CPU usage but might be worth a try.

Either way, cheers for the updates! Sorry I missed this last night but enjoyed the read and the vids all the same
