TV spotter report of strong rotation and funnel clouds near I-435 and Stateline in KC metro area.
 
Sean Wilson interviewed on Channel 5 in KC, the news SkyTracker is tracking a large rotating wall cloud on the south side of KC. It has been very persistent and is now showing signs of stronger rotation along I-435.
 
Seems to be that the KC-area storms are merging into a train now--now mostly concerned with hail and (especially) rain. Rotation on J- seems to be slowing/fading now? TV helicopters talking extensive lowering but not as much rotation, although there is discussion that it could be rain wrapped.
 
Yeah ... there's a new, healthier meso back to the west ... the copters are still flying over my head on this one but I'm sure they've spotted the new one by now, Great lightning!
 
Oxford and Hamilton, Ohio look to be hammered by a rain-wrapped tornado. Latest GR scan showing an eye in the hook of the storm about to cross the state border. Crazy stuff in my homestate as my home county has already been tornado warned with the possible tornado moving south of my town (Circleville).
 
An oil tank blew up in KC, K about 15-20 minutes ago; there is some thought it may have been due to lightening. Stormy weather must be making it hard to fight.

They are saying it was due to lightning. What is scary though is that tank is right next to 3 other ones full of gasoline. :eek:

Very impressive lightning from down here in Peculiar.
 
Andrew Pritchard, Mark Sefried, and Brad Emel are all around the Morgan, Sangamon County, IL storms. Andrew reports a multi-vortex tornado was skipping around for 20 minutes as it headed for Jacksonville. They are now focusing on the storm in Greene and Jersey county where another tornado was on the ground.....waiting to hear back from him.
 
Per GR3, Springfield, Mo looks to be in the path of that nasty MCS.

check out the storm speed on the cell to the north!!!!
