"Just Do It" Lawrence O'Donell's A block laid out TSF's trial so far like a Stormy Daniels video

bare naked and wide open. He laid down the best description of the trial I've heard yet.
Gotta love LOD!

Severe outbreak upgraded from yesterday as expected to a level 5 in OK and KS

Edit*: The primary low pressure system causing the havoc has dropped to 986mb's and falling as it moves S/SE over WY/Western NE/KS. I know that may not mean much but I've seen Cat 2 Hurricanes over 100mph with that kind of pressure. The weather experts are very very concerned in some of their latest wording. And not just in the highest level area, anywhere in at least the yellow on up really need to be aware. Watches are being issued now.

Very strong (EF3+) long tracked tornadoes and especially "Giant Hail" of over 4 inches can be expected. I have personally experienced hail of that size and I'd rather have a tornado. Scariest weather phenomena I've experienced outside hurricanes.
Much of the areas under the gun will be the same affected last month some of which have been declared disaster areas by the Federal Govt so they are going to be especially vulnerable as they try and recover.

Much of the severe weather into tomorrow will be very dependent on the evolution and tracks of storms today at granulated scales too fine for models to accurately pickup on but the general consensus is 2 more days of extensive severe weather farther east into the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley's working it's way to the mid-Atlantic/SE states through Thursday.

Only posting this for awareness as we haven't seen a repetitive pattern like this at the peak of tornado season in nearly 10 years. Tornado season peaks from mid-May through June in the Midwest and we really have been experiencing quiet seasons in many of these areas lately so it's easy to forget.

Some tips...
Any kind of new or used helmets and a battery powered weather radio WILL save your families lives more than anything else you have besides a shelter or basement. If in your home then get as close to the center and/or lowest point in your home (the center, not bathtubs, bathtubs fly). The area where there are the most walls between you and a neighbors toothbrush going 200mph. Cover up in couch cushions, mattresses, pillows, you want to make yourself and your family into a protected ball. And importantly, DON'T rely on cellphones or the internet for warnings! That radio WILL save your life, not Ryan Hall. If you're out don't try and run away unless you have experience running away from tornadoes, which you don't because even experienced chasers don't run away, you will die. Get out of your car, you're not a storm chaser (there are too many as it is, why I quit). Do not get underneath under passes, you will die and kill others. Sad to say but duck and cover are your best chances. Just plain old get out, get as low as possible... ditch, against a curb, anything lower than whats around you, curl up into a ball and cover up with anything you can find. Remember, your average airliner, big airliner goes maybe 140 mph and lifts 500 tons or more of metal and flesh into the air. An EF3 tornadoes winds are going that fast and faster so your 5,000lb 4 runner is a piece of newspaper. I'm saying this because I saw a lot of morons last month that are lucky to be here today (including some dumbass chasers) and I've seen people die in these things. Seriously not joking, I've watched people die in front of my eyes being Darwin award wannabes.

Below are links to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) who are responsible for all official severe weather forecasts and issuing severe weather watches with the next 3 days of expected severe weather coverage.

I'm including Ryan Halls channel if he's your cup of tea (not mine). Also a link to a real Meteorologist Trey Greenwoods uTube channel who gives a quick 5 min summary in the beginning then gets into the geeky shit of the forecasts if you're into that like me.

Severe weather earworm for the next 4 to 5 days, SPC extended forecasts have been very good this year

It's a big reason there were so few fatalities from the outbreaks in the plains a couple of weeks ago. SPC was warning on those outbreaks 7-8 days out. 20, even 10 years ago if we would've had a +100 tornado day the aftermath would probably have been much more somber so hat's off to them.

Transitioning ENSO's (El Nino to La Nina) in the Spring and early summer (that timing is fairly rare) are usually marked by a significant increase in risk of outbreaks from not just the usual tornado ally areas but into the Plains, Midwest/Great Lakes and Ohio Valleys. And on mark the SPC has been forecasting another potential outbreak for over a week for the next 4 days for areas from TX up through the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. Always perks my ears when they start alerting a week out. They've been on it this year so keep it in the back of your mind from the southern plains all the way up into OH and in the S/SE and Mid Atlantic later in the week. This is another in a string of anomalously strong systems over the last 30 days with the full basket of ingredients needed.

Below is Mon- Tues at level 4, then Tues - Wed at level 3. There's a chance Mon - Tues could be raised to a level 5 in the southern plains and Tues - Wed could be raised to a level 4 maybe even 5 from their wording. The same areas are being being warned on into Thurs depending on how the beginning/mid week phase plays out. One take from their wording is widespread Giant Hail up to grapefruit size is very probable with these coming storms. We're stuck in a pattern so far this Spring that continues to be very favorable for strong long tracked EF3+ tornadoes. We haven't had an active Spring this far north in many years so heads up.

Regardless of what "level" they are warning at, significant tornadoes and destructive thunderstorms are possible in any shaded area. Expect a significant severe weather outbreak in the areas in the maps below through Thurs.

Day 2


Day 3 (and 4)

Tornado outbreak ongoing near Norman/Oklahoma City, these may make it to Tulsa according to SPC... local live coverage

They are hitting populated areas, training over the same areas similar to yesterday. NWS saying debris is being lofted 25k ft in the air.

While it feels good to see TSF finally in a criminal court, for my 2000th post, just one more thing

There is a bigger entity yet to be held accountable for High Crimes and Misdemeanors and Treason against the Constitution and violating the trust of the American people. And while this entity can't be charged criminally it still must face a jury, the biggest jury, the American voters. The Republican Party is single-handedly responsible for the actions of TSF and for letting the wretched extremest wing of it's party spread unchecked within it so that now there is only one party of the Constitution acting faithfully, with integrity, and on behalf of the American people in this Democratic Republic.

As we get closer to election day I hope our party starts to push this message out. The message that without the Republican Party and it's extremest anti democratic members, there would be no SF, there would've been no January 6th, there would still be Roe... on and on because the last 8 years specifically did not happen on it's own (they're still at it). None of this could have happened without the Republican Party devolving back into it's basic ingredients, greed and power, over specifically, and at the expense of The American People. They have committed the ultimate treason.

This Nov. is not about the Orange Clown to me. This Nov. is not just an election to me. This Nov. is the Republican Party's trial buy THE ULTIMATE jury of it's peers.

The people on this board know more than most of how evil this party has become and by being here as long as it has proves to me, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there's hope in this grand experiment that is the United States of America. There's some Ikey like leaning conservatives on here, I can see ya, and that's fine. You just make us all stronger together. Thank you to EVERYONE on here. I learn way more than I give on here because, well, if you give way more than you learn your just full of shit according to my grandpa

Thank you DU for being a little sparkle of truth in an evermore entropic web of snake oil salesmen.

"Let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarcy, that in America the law is King. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other."

1974 Super Outbreak of Tornadoes.... The 50th anniversary April 3rd and 4th

The second-largest tornado outbreak on record for a single 24-hour period, 148, just behind the 2011 Super Outbreak with an insane 360. However the '74 outbreak still holds the record for the largest number of violent tornadoes in one day with over 30 F4's and F5's. There were over 300 fatalities, similar to 2011, and over 6,000 compared to 3100 in 2011, as a direct result of tornadoes alone. One of the longest tracked violent tornadoes ever recorded was on the ground for over 120 miles from East Central IN all the way the far NE border with MI and OH peaking several times to F4 strength. This was also the outbreak that spawned the infamous Xenia OH F5
tornado

Many may be to young to remember it. Many may have heard of it. If you're over 55 you very well may remember it especially if you lived anywhere from the Midwest to the Midsouth, where you very well could've experienced it. When it's brought up around here these days everybody's got a story from those Wed- Thurs afternoons. Below find a map of the tornado tracks and also a video that delves into the science of the outbreak from Trey, a PHD Meteorologist that runs the Convective Chronicles Utube channel, my favorite resource for severe weather forecasting besides the NWS.

And at the bottom a film many folks may have seen in high school in the late 70's during film time when the science teacher needed a nap. It's actually a Civil Defence film distributed to small towns in 1978 to encourage implementing early warning techniques. I really can't explain to younger people how different it was back then. You were lucky if you lived in the country because you could see it coming sooner than anybody in town would get a warning. The films sensationalism at it's finest but that was the point. They were trying to scare people into paying attention. Its kind of funny. There's tons of videos out there.
Anyway, Heads up and Helmets on until the twisters wind is gone! lol
