almost 50 years to the day of the 74 Super Outbreak...almost the exact same areas.

i think what makes the Xenia picture so terrifying..is its smack in the middle of a suburban neighborhood. The Xenia storm was so historic...never before had such a strong twister gone from one end of a decent sized town to the other. Read a great book years ago by a writer named Polf Laffoon, and his detailed account of the Xenia storm was excellent. How, right after the storm, residents of one end of town couldnt understand why no one from the other side of town wasn’t coming to help...not knowing that they got slammed too. How resdients of the suburbs could suddenly see all the way downtown to the clock tower. How right after it passed, adults as well as children ran in circles just vomiting...Teachers watched children, who weeks after the tornado...would play a macabre game of listening to an imaginery radio and then just run and scream “its coming..its coming”.....really kind of gave ya the creeps.
i figured..thanks.
..”Polk Laffoon”...
Yep, today could get ugly.
yesterday, I was watching some storm chasers live on youTube and it was rough out in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, etc.
Almost to a man, they said today could be worse.
For those of you who haven’t heard of him, there’s a guy named Ryan Hall. He runs a show out of his house in eastern Kentucky. He’s plugged in with the latest tech and talks with storm chasers out in the field.
His show goes live on YouTube when the weather gets bad. Search for Ryan Hall Y’All on YouTube.
DISCLAIMER: I get nada from promo’ing his show. It’s a good one. I like it.
Brandon Copic is another storm chaser that runs a live show on YouTube. He’s worth checking out too.
I’ve been through two F1’s in Atlanta. The big 1998 one that touched down in Dunwoody and stayed on the ground for 20 miles. I was lucky and only lost half my roof. Then about 5 years ago we had another one that came over our neighborhood about 30-40 ft off the ground and messed up one side of our roof and badly damaged my moms house across the street.
Mr. GG2 and I have already picked out a storm shelter which will be installed right off the back porch of our new house we’re building at our rural compound. I’m sick of grabbing the dog and running into the interior bathroom. 😉
I see that Yellow Springs is a college
Oberlin Ohio home Oberlin College is about 70 miles from me and I have travel by there a couple times a year.
Oberlin is infamous for its militant Leftism. It made national news when they basically tried to put a family owned bakery out of business when it prosecuted a couple of students for shoplifting while Black.

This college has done countless acts of depraved Leftist things that made the news.
I would give Oberlin the title Berkeley of Ohio.
What is sad is that the College was founded a Christian college and it has become a bastion of Leftist amoral atheism.
A big blob of storms over TN into southern IL is delaying moisture return into the OH valley and blow off clouds
Will they clear out in time for later?
If not instability will not be as high as forecast in Ohio
Time will tell
Yep
UNCERTAINTY IS RELATIVELY HIGH FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE ONGOING
TN-KY-WV CONVECTION. THE STORMS APPROACHING MIDDLE TN AND SOUTHERN
KY WILL TEND TO REINFORCE THE EARLIER OUTFLOW, WHICH WILL LIKELY
INTERFERE WITH/LIMIT DESTABILIZATION THIS AFTERNOON TOWARD PARTS OF
OH (ESPECIALLY EASTERN OH). THE CORRIDOR OF RICHER LOW-LEVEL
MOISTURE FROM NORTHEAST AR INTO SOUTHEAST MO (IMMEDIATELY WEST OF
THE TN STORMS) SUGGESTS THAT AIR MASS RECOVERY WILL OCCUR TOWARD
SOUTHERN IL AND SOUTHERN/CENTRAL IN BY LATE MORNING INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON, AND SOUTHWEST OH THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG DEEP-LAYER
SHEAR/LONG HODOGRAPHS ASSOCIATED WITH AN AMPLIFYING MIDLEVEL
TROUGH/JET AND A DEEPENING SURFACE CYCLONE WILL SUPPORT THE
POTENTIAL FOR FAST-MOVING SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF ALL SEVERE HAZARDS,
INCLUDING STRONG TORNADOES WHERE SUFFICIENT LOW-LEVEL
WARMING/MOISTENING OCCURS IN THE WAKE OF THE MORNING CONVECTION. AS
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, THE NORTHEASTERN EXTENT OF THE PRIMARY SEVERE
THREAT INTO OH IS MORE UNCERTAIN GIVEN THE ONGOING CONVECTION TO THE
SOUTH, BUT WILL TRIM THE NORTHEAST EDGE OF THE MDT RISK AREA AND
EXPAND SOUTH SOME TO ACCOUNT FOR THE OUTFLOW CORRIDOR ENHANCING THE
TORNADO THREAT ON THE MESOSCALE ACROSS KY
Given the huge amounts of property damage Xenia took on that day, I am amazed that the death toll were only 34.
The first storm chaser on Rumble. I have been trying to recruit them to Rumble for years with no luck
Just a small guy but please support by watching
