They're having a rough night in Crawford County indeed. The second supercell is blasting through only a few miles north of where the first one did.

First of all, I will say that it's only been the last couple years that I've been looking at velocity scans, but on this SR vel image from that Crawford cty IL/Sullivan cty IN storm, I see something I've never seen (or at least noticed) before! This has a "donut" appearance, complete with "hole" (or...eye) in the middle! Is this common?

I don't see any sort of hole looking at Level II data - might be an artifact of the software used to create the image.

That storm has really looked dangerous for a while, now, but, checking the mesoanalysis page, I gotta believe the show's about over.
LI=-2? CAPE=500? Noticed that the cyclone is also much weaker than 24 hours ago, too? Only about 998mb. With PW=~1.5 where that storm is, and little apparent reason to keep this up, I'm waiting for this thing to decide it's way too water loaded and come crashing back to earth.
