Significant damage from a large tornado that moved through Matador minutes ago, loose livestock. At least one injury and a possible fataility per locals who just searched rubble

The graphic you just shared on-air of last 6" and last 12" storm may not be as accurate as it could be. It looks like you may have only sorted/asked for one-day totals. Many/most storms do cross into a second day. I'd suggest 2-day totals for "storm" total.
Today will solidify James Spann's reputation as the greatest broadcast meteorologist of all time. He practically watched his house sustain damage from a violent tornado live on air and didn't even break a stride in covering the tornadoes. Alabama is very lucky to have him.
Incredible day. After grinding on my thesis for several days and finally completing it last night, I was able to get out and experience Mother Nature’s fury once again. Documented this tornado NW of Robert Lee while getting hammered by tennis balls

This is incredible – the scar left by the Bridge Creek-Moore F5 tornado of May 3 1999 is still visible almost a quarter century later. One of the strongest tornadoes to ever touch down on the planet with winds exceeding 300 mph. Unfathomable power
Just to give y'all insight into the raw power of the 1999 Bridge Creek, OK F5. The first 2 photos are from before and after the tornado. The final photo is from October 16, 2023 and the mark is still visible. Wow...
BREAKING: National Weather Service announces that they will begin issuing tiered Severe Thunderstorm Warnings on April 28. The upper two tiers of SVR warnings are:
CONSIDERABLE: 1.75" hail and/or 70 mph winds
DESTRUCTIVE: 2.75" hail and/or 80 mph winds
• Twin wedges in Texas panhandle
• Two high risks
• EF1 in Vermont
• First EF4 in Georgia since 4/27/2011
• Several (likely) violent tornadoes in Alabama and Mount Enterprise, TX
• 13 tornado warnings at once today
��� The "No" tornado was rated EF2
• It's only March 27
WPC has analyzed a dryline extending into Northern Missouri. To show how rare this is, here is a frequency heatmap for *every* dryline analyzed during synoptic hours (0, 6, 12, 18z) by WPC over the US from 2008-2020
I am beyond excited to announce that I have been accepted into OU's meteorology graduate program and I will be continuing my research with machine learning and AI. I would like to thank everybody in my life for helping me to get to where I am today. This is a dream come true!
This is amazing. Right after the earthquake, a blob of reflectivity and low CC consistent with biological returns (birds, insects, etc.) appears over northern OKC for a couple of scans before disappearing.
INSANE EARTHQUAKE ON RADAR! Birds and insects wake up and go for the sky’s as the earthquake happens and the radar detects the increase of objects in the air!! In this case birds bats insects etc
Next Tuesday-Wednesday (May 7-8) look like they could be significant severe weather days, so here are predicted front positions for your viewing pleasure
Hourly front positions from my AI model for the upcoming stretch of severe weather, starting tomorrow (Sunday) at 18z. Cold front eats a dryline for dinner on Monday
I do not know how large the stone inside this crater is since it's in a million pieces, but this crater from the giant hail north of Guymon yesterday measured about 7" across.

Bagged 6 tornadoes in what has become the best chase day of my life. Just, wow. Dashcam video will likely be out sometime this weekend or in a YouTube video next week
Venturing outside of Austin...A California developer want's to build a 134-story, 1,750' hotel & apartment tower in OKC. It would be the second tallest building in the U.S. behind the World Trade Center tower in NYC. I give this a less (much less) than a 50-50 chance of

lmao you're too ignorant to even see that people outside of your little Los Angeles bubble don't always have access to the internet. Local stations are a lifeline for people, especially here in Oklahoma, because your app doesn't tell you if a tornado is gonna obliterate your home
Based on other people’s shots, it looks like this white cone is a satellite tornado and there is a large wedge visible in the background, which I didn’t even realize was a tornado at first.
Massive wedge tornado as it was exiting Wynne, AR. Damage in town was pretty severe, with some structures being completely demolished and trees were debarked.
