T-storms look about about 15-20 out. We’re just starting to get high winds and lightning in Burke.

Though it looks like my radar pictures are a little old.

Mall evacuated based on procedure last year... we had severe around the same time of day (non-tornadic).

Been following it here:

Looks like part of the core of the storm will pass over the city in the next 45 min - 1 hr.

Folks have spent the day passing through security to get to the mall for the concert, now they’re evacuated. Will the concert/fireworks go on?

I saw that one in Columbia, I think. It was a low, dark, fast moving cloud, going nearly due east, nearly at right angles to the prevailing thunderstorm movement. It appeared to be just South of Route 175, in the middle of Columbia.

The leading angle of cloud was rotating around a line that appeared to be at a 45 degree angle towards the ground out in front. I couldn’t see the lower part of the cloud, it was below a treeline.

I guess whoever put ‘notbreaking’ in the keywood list is has a tv on and is sitting safely away from a tornado’s path at the moment. ((shaking head))

I’m guessing by your nick that you’re a meteorologist?
