Maybe we should hold off our criticism until after the WCM is finished saving lives.

I remember the tornado emergency coming out after the second storm produced a tornado in Battlefield (which is on the SW doorstep of Springfield). About five minutes after that report, the only touchdown reported was in the Chesterfield Village area (as per what I recall and also on the SPC tornado report). There has not been any extensive damage reported from that tornado. Springfield got lucky on the first two storms, and the third storm went over the Springfield airport northwest of Springfield.
It also looks like the well-defined couplets we've been seeing all night in SW Missouri are finally disappearing, which is a very good thing. There are some areas of rotation to justify the tornado warnings, but things seem to be winding down in SW Missouri.
KTTS reporting 2 people critically injured from the Marshfield area.
Edit: KTTS has now reported there was a second fatality. I'm not sure where it was, as I caught the tail end of the report, but it was in between Springfield and Marshfield.

I have seen two funnels that crossed into Arkansas and moved up into Missoui. We now have a flashflood threat, I have seen over 5 inches here in the Kansas Oklahoma area, near the Arkansas border.

Ah yes, forgot about the vertical polarization. That would explain it. Thanks.

Fairly strong rotation headed towards the Laclede County/Lebanon area at this time. I'm currently monitoring a live police/fire/ems feed: mms://lacledeoem.dyndns.org:7302 from that area. Lebanon PD is reporting power flashes off to the SW.

NWS SGF just issued a big blanket tornado warning for 7 counties at once. While that might not be needed since it's 3 in the morning....I think the meteorologists there have done a fine job tonight and have served the citizens in the area very well.

I can't possibly imagine what that must be like, this has been going on for almost 11 hours now - everyone must be exhausted beyond belief! Is this some sort of record? I don't think I've seen an event go on quite this long before.
