The two tornadic cells S. of Benkelman have now merged, still with a very large hook & couplet, taking aim at Benkelman in the next 10-15 minutes. It looked as if the easternmost cell absorbed the weaker western cell. What a beast.

 

[John Peters]

is it me or are imbedded storms in the line west of Lubbock starting to take on supercellular characteristics?

 

[Brett Adair]

I'm nowcasting for Mark Farnick and he's taping a tornado coming thorough Benkelman. Apparently he has witnessed powerflashes in the city. He's on HWY-34 east of the city and is dring back towards the west. He was near Max as of a few moments ago. About to call GLD...

 

[Justin E. Reed]

You right John, one storm was a supercell ahead of the line, it was now been swallowed by the line

 

[Justin E. Reed]

Tornado is ripping apart Benkelman according to reports, and unconfirmed reports that Bird City,KS is mostly destroyed. And afunnel cloud is reported with the storm SE of Goodland

 

[jason kissam]

Any reports from Holly Colorado in Prowers county colorado? i have a freind calling saying a huge tornado went through that town.

 

[John Peters]

looks like there is some weak rotation in the southern most storm of the line west of lubbock. I wouldn't be surprised if this storm is tornado warned soon.

 

[Jeff Piotrowski]

Tornado on the ground South of Laird KS

Tornado on the ground six south of Laird Kansas. I'm very concered about this tornaodo hitting the city of Laird KS. Shear over 140 MPH.

 

[Justin E. Reed]

The tornado has moved beyond Benkelman, with a large wedge still goin, I think this has been on the ground since Goodland if I'm not mistaken?!

 

[Justin E. Reed]

Rotation is increasing in the storm over Pampa in Gray County, likely tornado warning shortly, this is goin to pass close to McLean

 

[Brett Adair]

4.25" hail reported with the storm in Benkelman. Cell merged with the other St. Francis Cell. Waiting to get more word from Mark. This thing has done quite a bit of damage to the south near Bird City. I almost got him to go there....thank goodness we changed those plans.

 

[Heath Schroeder]

Where is Laird, KS located near? and I believe you are right that it's been on the ground since goodland, maybe even further south of there around 7:00 Central time down around Sharon Springs in Wallace County if I'm not mistaken or that storm was at one point down there. At 8:05, tornado was reported 5 miles WSW of Tribune. I believe this is the same cell. Times are central time.

 

[Justin E. Reed]

I am highly surprised a warnin hasn't been put out for the storm pounding Pampa right now, its rotation its still looking good
