DAY 25 Discussion

[kold weather]

Wow that tornado looks very impressive, big old wedge present there!

Sadly I've heard we've already had 1 death from the tornado...also yep we've got a PDS right now, not all that surprising to be honest with you given the instablity we are presently seeing.

[turna]

Could well have been a hail shaft - hopefully we'll see a tornado at some point tonight on the excellent chase cam streams

Team here on that severe warned.

I think it would be wise to keep an eye on the dryline 1 county west or so. It looks ready to fire off a new round of supercells.

[Louise]

Looks like its kicking off big time over there - it goes without saying, stay safe guys...

Tell you what, you definitely need a quad core powered PC and a quick broadband connection to deal with radio 5 live football commentary and live streaming from Matt Grantham, Dennis and Verne all at the same time!
