This is a pretty remarkable event west and northwest of Grand Island. Numerous tornado reports are coming in from many different storms, from the HP beast NNW of G.I. to the very poor-looking storms near and east of Kearney. That's going to be quite the cluster of a tornado reports...

 

[Jeff Miller]

Our Shelby County, IA Supercell has now gone tornadic with a doppler based TOR WARN for that storm...VERY impressive on radar as well.

EDIT: Tornado warning expanded EAST for Audobon county as well.

Iowa storm, now has 3 reports of tornadoes, from it, I would
imagine its probably the same tornado,

I'm hearing some people telling me there are some +90 knot low-level gate to gate shear values on the Iowa supercell. Anyone in that area with something to report??

 

[Skip Talbot]

Look at the storm in Iowa! All by itself with a classic supercell signature, and just as the sun is setting. Gosh I hope someone is out there with a camera.

wow, so many tornado reports in and around Grand Island tonight, I bet we see around 12-20 different nader reports alone from that area. Iowa supercell looks like a beast. Looks to be a few decent storms in the TX Panhandle as well, hopefully a prelude to tommorow, when I can actually chase...

 

[Justin Teague]

Brian Stertz is on the Iowa storm. I talked to him earlier while the wall cloud was developing, but I haven't called him back. I'll wait till after dark to call him and see what he has to say.

 

[Jeff Miller]

Iowa storm has turned right and heading toward the interstate. Still very intense with well defined hook as well as having a history of producing tornadoes.

 

[Justin Teague]

I just got off the phone with Amos. He has been on the Nebraska storm(the beast) from the git-go. He said that there were several funnels, but they never touched. I think we can blame this on the high LCL's. He did say that it is the most amazing storm that he has seen since 2001(LP in the Tx panhandle). He said to expect some amazing pics from Mike Hollingshead. I haven't call Brian because that storm still looks incredible.

 

[B Ozanne]

The IA cell has turned more and is now moving south of east.

Probably the best looking cell I have seen all season.

 

[Bill Hark]

I talked to Charles Edwards of Cloud 9 Tours. They got extremely close to a "landspout" type tornado near Axtell, Nebraska. It is south of Kearney.

The DDC 88D has 18dbz echo at estimated 64,000ft AGL over Central City at 0200 UTC (the 1.3deg slice). Nice! Hope chasers aren't under that :shock:

I got on the Iowa storm shortly after it broke the cap. I will write more in a report but for now... I was on the back side of it and never saw a touchdown. A couple nice wallclouds, great vertical motion and rotation but no tornadoes. Maybe I was just to far behind it, on a secondary area of circulation.

TORWARN

New confirmed TOR spotter reported 19 miles north of York on the Nebraska storm.

Lol, sitting north of Schuyler -- trying to figure out how to get back to Lincoln without dieing. Sandwhiched between the supercell from hell and an intensifying storm to our east. Aaaaah! :lol:
