This whole thing is bizarre to me in a way I can't explain. Everything about it doesn't sit right with me.
This bad of a storm in December? 70 degree temps at night in the middle of December?
In KY this morning, our governor came on to talk about 50 fatalities. Those 50 fatalities came from a single candle factory where the roof collapsed. As horrible and heartbreaking as it is that anyone was injured or passed away, I'm confused as to why our governor came on to report it. Something about it is just really weird to me.
The alarm on my phone notified me of a tornado warning. Loud, scary alarm sounds and everything. But there was NOTHING going on outside. Even once the storm fully reached my area, there was almost no lightning, no hail, rain picked up just a bit, and even the wind wasn't that bad but on the news they reported 70+ MPH. As a kid I was taught by our local weatherman that tornado WARNING meant there was a tornado in the area, but there was no tornado in our area last night. Even a funnel cloud.
My Mom's phone had no alarm. My aunt's phone had a screwed up alarm that only popped up a banner but made no noise when it normally does.
What you are saying is basically actual tornado conditions were missing whilst they are claiming tornados. Has anyone seen any footage of funnels?
I live in the general area of these storms and there were funnels. Two miles from me, as the crow flies, there was a touchdown and one fatality. December storms, while rare can and do happen. In 2010 on NYE, the temperature was almost 80 and there was a tornado that afternoon in StL, MO that destroyed an entire neighborhood. Certainly rare, but not out of the question.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEWi1E4Tsk0 I'm not sure how this got to my youtube selections but he had several storm chasers get funnel footage during lightening strikes last night. I live in East MO between the bootheel and St.Louis. It barely rained here
At least in my area. Can't say about other areas, like Mayfield.
Been petrified of storms my whole life. I know when it's actually pretty bad outside, and last night it wasn't bad at all.
And why were the alarms screwy? We never had a siren go off in my area. My aunt a county over did. My phone did an alarm, Mom's didn't, Aunt's alarm was delayed and had no audio. Our alarms get weekly tests. Why the screw up? Apparently either when this line of storms began, or with the line just before it, no alarms went off in the area where another tornado hit.
For the record, not saying there were no tornadoes at all. Just that the call on 'Tornado warning' in my area was totally unnecessary and unfounded. There were no funnels in my area, or just south of my area where my aunt lives.
Never had one alert locally nor the Paducah Weather Service...
Yes there was. Multiple actually.
I think he is suggesting it was a real tornado but artificially created
Right, but I watched the local weather channel and there was no rotation.
If there was no funnel, why would there be a warning? Even if you look up 'tornado watch vs warning', it says a warning means "that either a tornado has been spotted or a radar has picked one up."
If radar shows no rotation and there's no funnel, why would there be a warning?
I'm probably hung up on something pointless, but after a lifetime of watching severe weather closely, we've never had a warning with no rotation/funnel.
Have you been on YouTube at all today? My god people not everything is a fucking conspiracy. Yes there were tornados on the ground all night and the town of Mayfield is totally wrecked (i was doing search and rescue til 6 this morning actually). Have some respect, people lost everything last night in many towns across the heartland and dont need dumbass people on the internet questioning the authenticity of the tragedy.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I live in KY and I've seen the video and I'm not doubting the existence of the tornado that hit Mayfield and other areas.
What I do struggle with is the wonky alarms that were not working and the warnings that were put out unnecessarily.
I've watched storms my whole life because they make me anxious. Last night was extremely abnormal both in that the storms/timing were unprecedented, the weather leading up to them was bizarre, and the warning system not working as it should.
