Ominous start to the spring storm season over there. Big big wedge in Iowa a few hours ago.

Tornado outbreak throughout Central Texas and southern Oklahoma yesterday with multiple tornadoes confirmed. Today’s forecast of a regional tornado outbreak across Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama seems to be a bust with the QLCS outrunning the discrete supercells ahead of the line before they could become tornadic.

Spoke too soon - Southern Louisiana and Mississippi kicking off. Crazy video of a tornado moving through New Orleans a few minutes ago.

A rough couple of days in the US. Early in the season for the significant warnings and events.

Today looks like a great day for chasing photogenic supercell thunderstorms right in the heart of Tornado Alley. 2022 has produced a good chase season so far and it is still only April.

Good April usually means a death ridge through central may and comes right again June.

Luckily the cap held and didn’t drop everyone’s early 2000’s DVDs from the sky.

I watched this live. Sad to see Andover take a direct hit. There’s some spectacular footage of that tornado online from many different chasers.

Didn't know that hail fell shaped like DVDs? What would make them go so flat?

Per KWCH:
Andover Fire Chief Chad Russell said 966 buildings were in the path of a destructive tornado that started in Sedgwick County and moved into Butler County. In Sedgwick County, 50 to 100 buildings were damaged. Russell said that while preliminary assessments had been done, it is unknown how many buildings were damaged in Andover.
Russell said the worst of the damage was near Harry and Andover Road. He said in some neighborhoods, homes “were completely blown away.” Eyewitness News caught a glimpse of the damage Friday night. Homes were flattened and sustained major damage.
So far, only a few injuries have been reported. In Sedgwick County, one woman suffered serious injuries while two others had minor injuries. Russell said there were no injuries so far in Butler County, but a secondary assessment would be conducted Saturday morning for a better determination.

Reed has posted 4K drone footage in Facebook. It's a really good example of a tornado (Albeit Landspout to boot) that isn't fully condensed & why you need to be looking for the tell tale signs of ground circulation.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that this is the last year Charles is running Cloud 9 Tours, retiring after this year.

Many kicking themselves for not chasing on the 2% day yesterday.
Ricky Forbes (Tornado Hunters from Canada) took this photo near Morton, Texas.
