Major Southeast Severe Weather Outbreak May 10 and 11th

[KWT]

Yep that also looked like a good storm 6SpeedTA95, well not good but impressive anyway had a nice hook to it.

[Bunkertor]

Anyone an idea which coverage to tune in ?

Anyone an idea which coverage to tune in ?

I'd watch anything you can get out of areas along the OK/AR border... but WMCTV in Memphis is doing excellent coverage of the supercell in eastern Arkansas. They're radar is really good and is showing extremely good rotation and it's been a right mover, a bit unusual for this area..

05/10/2008 E1.00 INCH BARRY MO LAW ENFORCEMENT

QUATER SIZE HAIL FALLING. SHEET METAL IS ALSO FALLING
FROM THE SKY.

I think someone from this board lives in Monett.

[KWT]

Sheet metal falling from the sky? Is that from a tornado debris cloud then thats coming back to ground?!

[HarlequinBoy]

Sheet metal falling from the sky? Is that from a tornado debris cloud then thats coming back to ground?!

My guess it that it's debris from the Newton County tornado?

[Bunkertor]

Short: Thanks for info, guys

[KWT]

Well if thats the case thats really impressive but yeah I think you may be right!

[HarlequinBoy]

Any thoughts on the storm in southeast Van Buren county? It has good rotation...

[brunota2003]

If there was sheet metal falling from the sky, then there was a tornado nearby...at least an EF-2 most likely

[CrazyC83]

40/29 coverage: tornado near Rogers, AR - spotted from a Wal-Mart lot

[Bunkertor]

Just carbonized my onions

[HarlequinBoy]

I'm a severe thunderstorm warning.. right on the se edge though.

* SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING FOR...
SOUTHWESTERN CRITTENDEN COUNTY IN EASTERN ARKANSAS...
NORTHERN LEE COUNTY IN EASTERN ARKANSAS...
ST. FRANCIS COUNTY IN EASTERN ARKANSAS...
NORTHWESTERN TUNICA COUNTY IN NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI...

[KWT]

Another tornado, certainly is turning out to be a pretty severe tornado outbreak at the moment!

Also some pretty hefty hail falling as well, big ole hail cores today!

[Bunkertor]

[KWT]

A big storm seems to be in cleaveland county I believe listening to the coverage presently. Also seems to be loads of lightning as you'd expect with very impressive lifted index values.

Some strong rotation near interstate-55 presently with the cell also producing some large hail as well right now, could well be a tornado on the ground but obviously not spotted yet if it is the case.

[HarlequinBoy]

A big storm seems to be in cleaveland county I believe listening to the coverage presently. Also seems to be loads of lightning as you'd expect with very impressive lifted index values.

Cleveland county, Ar?
