Crap I saw it just toss semi trailers like nothing

Just saw it too live, good lord!! Chad Myers reports he's never seen a semi-trailer fly in the air like that!!!!!

[EF-5bigj]

Im afraid this isn't over yet the area is prone for more storms firing up dang ive never seen that before the power is amazing and scary. another wall cloub approaching the area as well.

[Cyclenall]

Supercells could be cycling at the wrong time. Those radar images posted look sick! And right into cities too!

[EF-5bigj]

Im afriad as it heats up the chance for large violent tornadoes will go up Another tornado on the ground!

[Extratropical94]

CBS chaser reporting no more tornado on the ground in Mesquite!

Still no reason to relax though,
SPC saying large tornado moving from Mesquite in the direction of Garland, emergencies are up for there cities!

[Extratropical94]

And as i write, people in South Garland report the tornado to be back on the ground!

[Cyclenall]

The NWS site is so overloaded with Internet traffic that it doesn't even load!! I've never ever had that happen before...there must be a insane amount of people trying to access it!!

Damage to houses being shown on CNN. 2 tornadoes on the ground again and one is heading towards the airport in DFW!!! WOW!

[EF-5bigj]

It looks like the storms will likely be able to spawn violent tornadoes and around populated area's that is not a good thing at all.

Impressive video of trailers flying. Anyone who may have videos,post them here to have this thread filling with the 2012 ones.

[EF-5bigj]

Anyone have anymore radar images?? Im seeing some nasty rotation with a few of them on tv unfortunately they are rain wrapped tornadoes likely

[Extratropical94]

They aren't that impressive anymore, mainly because the cold front is moving through the area and catches up to the western parts of the outbreak.

If you haven't already used up the 21-day trial time, I can recommend http://www.grlevelx.com/.
It's a great tool to watch radar data and follow outbreaks, including vortex icons and warnings. GR2Analyst also features a 3D-volume explorer to show t-storms in 3D.
Each one of the three versions comes with a 21 day trial demo version to test it out.

Anyone know what strength the tornadoes where?

Anyone know what strength the tornadoes where?

The NWS has to study the damage area to see how they classify it and that could take from a day, couple of days or more.

Here is another video of the Texas tornadoes of 4/3/12,this one by CNBC.

[EF-5bigj]

Got a cold front coming my way its fair to say it looks not near as menacing or as potent as the texas storms.

Forecast for Thursday in the Deep South

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1127 PM CDT TUE APR 03 2012

VALID 051200Z - 061200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM ERN LA ACROSS
MS...AL...WRN GA AND THE FL PANHANDLE...

...SYNOPSIS...
AN UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE LOWER MS VALLEY THUR
MORNING...MOVING SLOWLY EWD ACROSS THE CNTRL GULF COAST STATES.
MODERATELY STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL EXIST WITH GENERALLY WLY LOW
LEVEL FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH A 60 KT MIDLEVEL SPEED MAX ACROSS SRN MS
AND AL BY 00Z. AT THE SURFACE...A WSW TO ENE ORIENTED BOUNDARY WILL
MOVE FROM LA/MS EARLY IN THE DAY ACROSS SRN AL...SWRN GA AND THE FL
PANHANDLE DURING THE AFTERNOON. SUBSTANTIAL LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL
BE PRESENT FOR MODERATE INSTABILITY WITH NO CAPPING. AS
SUCH...CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF THE AREA...FOR MUCH
OF THE DAY.

...ERN LA...MS...AL...SWRN GA...FL PANHANDLE...
DETAILS ARE UNCLEAR THIS FAR OUT GIVEN THE LIKELIHOOD OF AREAS OF
ONGOING CONVECTION EARLY...WHICH WILL IMPACT SEVERE POTENTIAL LATER
IN THE DAY. AT THIS TIME...MODELS INDICATE ONE BATCH OF STORMS WILL
EXIST ACROSS SRN AL/WRN FL PANHANDLE VICINITY EARLY...FOCUSED BY
WARM ADVECTION ALONG A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY. WIND FIELDS WILL BE
LARGELY UNIDIRECTIONAL...AND WILL FAVOR BOWING LINES WITH DAMAGING
WINDS. TEMPERATURES ALOFT ARE COOL ENOUGH FOR HAIL AS WELL.

LATER IN THE DAY...MUCH WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH INSTABILITY IS LEFT
AFTER EARLY CONVECTION...BUT FORCING WITH THE UPPER LOW SHOULD
RESULT IN ORGANIZED CONVECTION OVER MS DURING THE MORNING...MOVING
ACROSS AL AND INTO GA LATER IN THE PERIOD. HOW SEVERE THESE
POTENTIAL STORMS ARE WILL DEPEND ON THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY. THAT
SAID...THERE IS A CONDITIONAL THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL OVER
THE ENTIRE AREA.
