Well look at that! It’s another apparently wide multivortex tornado over southern Lake Huron with a relatively small supercell. Parameters don’t stand out except one in the SPC Meso products.

Fire tornadoes can be as strong as any tornado. This one looked like any strong or violent tornado I've seen. I've got some pics below of damage taken of a fire tornado in 2018 NW of Reading, CA. 1/.

The NWS also uses an amazing flash flood warning guidance tool made by NSSL and CIWRO. See how it predicted the stream flow rates at Mystic Campground as well as what was observed in Hunt, TX.

Physician here. The #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US is medical debt. And we don't even have a good healthcare system either. we spend more and get less and have the highest excess mortality rate in the 1st world. But wait. it's worse. /1.

After getting nice whole storm and tornado shots this year, I’m still just as enamored with these combo shots. I bet there were fewer crowds there too.
