Headline: "Jet stream behind surge of storms"

Of course most weather savvy people know the jet stream is the main component behind every severe weather outbreak. Just thought it was kinda funny.


Anyway, props to the SPC...again. I'd argue they do their specialty as good as any other group does their scientific specialty.

I am rather confident that the SPC will likely extend the Tornado watch eastward to include the remainding portions of Southeast GA and portions of coastal SC. I also possibly think SPC will place a watch to include Northeast FL and the Jax metro area later today.

Just heard a report on The Weather Channel that the death toll in the state of Kentucky alone is now at 16. That number unfortunately is likely to continue to rise.

Just heard a report on The Weather Channel that the death toll in the state of Kentucky alone is now at 16.

Legitimate media says 19:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A series of tornadoes that cut a swath of death and destruction across at least 10 states left stunned residents digging through rubble Saturday, looking for survivors and bodies.

The death toll stood at 37 on Saturday, including 19 in Kentucky, 14 in Indiana, three in Ohio and one in Alabama.

I'm wondering...could this have had a 4/27 like death toll if it happened farther south? Basements seem to be far more common in the places hardest hit this time.
