Darin Brunin reports a tornado just to the S/SW of Osborne, KS.

 

[Andrew Stoller]

I hope everyone has a garage in Osbourne, KS...65 dbz core with 2.50 inch hail looks to be going directly over the town.

 

[Jonathan Whitehead]

watching the Sherrod cam and not seeing a tornado but a really nice looking wall cloud

 

[Andrew Stoller]

Mark Farnik reports a large violent tornado northeast of Tipton.

Mark Farnik reports a large violent tornado near Tipton.

This is not surprising looking at base SRV (incredible gate to gate I must add) looks like this could continue for a while until south of Concordia, KS. I just hope that residents are taking cover.

Are there any streams in the area?

The Kansas storms are within the KSN viewing area, and you can watch some decent intermittent local coverage at: www.ksnw.com Click on "live streaming coverage."

Might just be me but won't stream for me.

Just found out Team Remora's cam is up (for now) on severe studios near Beloit, ks FYI.

SRV has come down, look like its cycling.

:edit: just talked to Mark - still a dusty multi vortex wedge - he estimates a path length of 10 miles so far. He's right in the inflow notch near Beloit.

:edit: Yea Dick, Mark reports a large rotating wall cloud with multi vorticies/brief spin ups every so often

 

[Dick McGowan]

Doug Mitchell and Jordan Wrecke don't think that the town of Glen Elder took a hit, but still a large meso and rotating wall cloud. They said the wedge lasted about 10 minutes.

Edit: Power flashes to their north....they are on highway 9.

 

[Aaron Moody]

The storm that went through Kearney and Grand Island producing tornadoes has finally reached the Omaha area, as nothing more than a shower with a little lightning here and there. It died down just in time...things could have been much worst had there been more sunshine today.

 

[Andrew Stoller]

The tiny town of Scottsville I think just took a direct hit.

:edit: looks to have gone northwest of there.

 

[Dick McGowan]

I finally got a hold of Darin Brunin, said he was extremely close...the multi-vortex tornado reminded him of Mike H's May 22 04 video, countless funnels dancing around.

 

[Andrew Stoller]

Mark reports damage in Glen Elder - can't go anywhere because highway 24 is blocked with debris.

Reports structures destroyed south of Glen Elder, roofs ripped off, trees blown clean.

:edit: Mark's seeing major power flashes north of Beloit towards Jewel.

 

[Kevin Ash]

The Jewell County, KS supercell has an amazing presentation right now on radar. Long lived tornado/meso has occluded and lifted NNE almost directly over the town of Jewell, KS. A new meso/possible tornado has formed on the SE flank of the first meso and has just passed very near Randall, KS.

 

[Mike Umscheid]

the 0212 UTC volume scan from KUEX showed a ~85 knot delta-V tornado vortex signature at 0.5 degrees almost directly square center over Jewell. Haven't heard any reports yet, but it is possible the decaying stage of this long-lived tornado may have passed directly through Jewell. I hope not, but the 88D data certainly suggests something dire
