thanks Neil.

chaser tv - twisted vortex chasers - they are, I think, on the lower of those 2 tornadic cells parked up with the circulation close

Looks to be growing in size, could become a wedge...

Can't seem to get that stream to load, Dave.  Currently watching AviWxChasers 1 on TVNweather on the Neosho, MO cell. 

 

Seemed the stream dropped out. Too many trees...

 

Still coverage of the cell here as it cycles:

SPC now up to HIGH risk (30%) for mid-MS in next few hours.

[samadamsuk]

Did anybody else just see Daniel Shaw narrowly escape a tornado on Severe Studios ?

[SalopWatcher]

Was just watching the local news station in tupelo and the tower cam was showing a massive wedge right on the edge of the city, stream died as the presenter was looking worried and saying "this is awful" early reports are a mall got his, and the tv station was only 2 miles north of this....

Was mental watching that live.

[nsrobins]

The second back chain on the LA/MS line is probably the one to watch kinematically as the line enters a very unstable environment in the next hour.

[matty40s]

chasertv used to be good, complete waste of time now, map is not very good, and the previously available warnings up to day 5 are no longer there.

[Boro Snow]

grrrrr i know chasertv ive given up on that tonight everytime i go to view a chaser nothing happens

Agreed, it's pants these days. In fact they are all not as good as they used to be and they seem to drop out more than they did a couple or more years ago.

 

These days I find it gets painful and I get frustrated and give up.

 

Nice line of flying eagles with talons now in West MS.

[samadamsuk]

yeah agree there - god knows why they redesigned and dumbed down chaser tv like that - its pointless using it now. The only decent feed I can find is Tyler Constantini, but he seems to be stuck on cruise control and driving around aimlessly for hours

Tyler is ace and is usually right on the money but it seems not today. He has always got his own feed on but now he has gone onto TVN and his window is smaller. For years have sought him out as his stream quality was excellent and he gives a running, informed commentary. This year it's just not the same as last year his own Storm Patrol feed was top notch. Now it just ain't.

 

Dunno why its all gone pear-shaped with the technology: it should be getting better but sadly it is not

John Humphress and Daniel shaw's feeds working right now on severestudios.com
