I left Emporia this morning and headed for Greensburg to evaluate where I was going to go. I decided to do the dry line and started heading south. I got on the Storm Northeast of Stinnett Texas a...

I thought it might be fun to have a thread dedicated specifically to the tornadoes we've captured in 2024. This isn't meant to replace a TA reports thread, just a one stop place to share still im...

I am a tad surprised today is not being discussed, I guess everyone is fat dumb, and happy already? I tend to like less hyped 2% or 5% days anyway. We have two more days on this excursion and hop...
