Radar looks bad.

It's going to blow right past us and largely amount to nothing......  I have been looking at the Accuweather radar, and there is absolutely nothing following the big yellow blob dumping rain on us now.

What about the stuff below us.

What is upon us now is very similiar to what it's like to be in Oklahoma or North Alabama in April.  In other words,  tornado alley at the peak of the season.
The strongest El Nino on record kept the hurricanes away from us.  But now it's pushing tornado alley down to us as well.

Every portal to the public should have historical ratings as to probability of forecasts and compliance by the forecaster.   It is leeches and other brews pretending to be science which the dart throwers go unchallenged and profit.  It is so bad in Illinois, that I have written two local stations and raised the possibility of a lawsuit for their puffing which gains viewership, but hurts the outdoor businesses in the area.  Since contacting them they have significantly scaled back on the lead in stories and puffing which used to show rain every weekend, but now assign probabilities and instead of showing clouds and lightening graphics they show sunshine and a cloud which is pretty much admitting they do not know what the F they are doing.....sometimes even the worse dart thrower can hit a bullseye.

That's the same word salad that had me drive 800 miles round trip to Jacksonville last week.  That word salad lost all it's credibility with me after that.

Exactly where on the beach?  A tornado just came onto shore at Perdido Key.

We needed that win after the BS that went down in College Station.

Yea, Humphrey got carried away and showed his frustration so I hope we make a 4th seed . . . . Ulis and Murray were awesome tonight.

It was a timeout, there was nothing malicious about it, how about a warning??

Ridiculous way to decide a game.

I hope you are right.

Once again you called it right seaoat.  The dart throwers predicted there would be tornados and it was all a false alarm because there were no tornados.  From now on when those dart throwers forecast tornados I'm going to ignore them like you advise.

My brother in law and sister in law live off of 9th in Camelot....they were standing on the porch checking the weather as the tornado went over. He said it was so loud.....they could not hear each other. She said it sounded like the proverbial freight train. I touched down about 2 blocks away.

When we see how those apartment buildings and homes were destroyed,  it's hard to believe there were no serious injuries or deaths.  I just heard one report which said no one even needed to be hospitalized.

So far no fatalities reported. The brunt of the tornado (apparently one of them) was at the Moorings Apartments on N Scenic Hwy and Yacht Harbor S/D. 3 people hospitalized for injuries. A semi overturned in Santa Rosa.

Some crazy weather. Talked to a friend and then my mom - both in the path of the tornado. Thankfully all is well but my word what a mess at the Moorings. It looks like a bomb went off. Amazing no one was killed and so few injuries. We had high winds in Niceville and lots of rain, lost power, but thankful we fared well.

The tornado went directly through my neighborhood. Once again, I was lucky and my house was spared (lost my dogwood tree last week). I do have a friend who lives in the neighborhood about 300 yards away from my house who has fairly extensive damage. His enclosed back patio is destroyed, some roofing is gone, his shed is now in a neighbors tree, back yard privacy fence is gone, several trees down - one on his car. Nearly every house in that part of the neighborhood has some type of significant damage from what I could tell.

Still no power in the neighborhood, nor an ETA.

Any news on the Northpointe area? My sister has a rental house there. She lives out of state.

Bob.....why does the PNJ have nothing in their lead stories this morning about confirmed tornados........it sure sounded like microbursts or tornados, but where is that science which can predict where a weather system is going to happen. Oh....there are tornados on the ground in La, and Ms......so heads up....great science....but where is the story of tornados?

That's actually the neighborhood that got hit.
