Tornado devastates Tupelo

A tornado caused extensive damage in the north part of Tupelo Monday afternoon.

Residential areas along North Gloster Street, Green Street and the Lakeshire subdivision were hit, and two gas stations were reportedly destroyed.

"Obviously there has been storm damage. It's a very serious situation," Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton said. "I am just encouraging everyone to stay inside and be weather aware. There is still a very real danger of another line coming through and people still need to be inside."

Shelton said he has heard reports of extensive damage along the busy North Gloster Street thoroughfare that connects downtown to the shopping district but said he hasn't had a chance to survey the damage yet. He has been at Fire Station No. 1 downtown where the county emergency management team has set up its headquarters.

A long-time, popular restaurant — Vanelli's — was destroyed. Vanelli's is a Greek and Italian restaurant that first opened in 1975.

An Outback restaurant reportedly also was destroyed. It is located near the Barnes Crossing in north Tupelo.

Comfort Suites, located just across Gloster from Vanelli's took extensive damage.

The quiet start to the year is no guarantee that the rest of the season will be quiet, especially considering that tornado season typically peaks in May and June. It is a function of the weather pattern that has dominated the lower 48 states since the fall, with a deep dip, or trough, in the jet stream across the Midwest and East, and a ridge of high pressure off the West Coast. The trough brought colder than usual temperatures and above-average snowfall to the East, while the ridge kept the West warmer and drier than average.

Torrential rain from a pair of thunderstorm clusters triggered major flash flooding along parts of the Alabama Gulf Coast and the Florida Panhandle late Tuesday and early Wednesday. Authorities blamed the flooding for one death in Pensacola, Florida.

Several homes and businesses were flooded, the Pensacola News Journal reported. Resident were stranded in cars and homes waiting for rescuers to find a way around impassable roads and others abandoned vehicles to walk to safety.

A 10-mile stretch of Interstate 10 was flooded and closed from the Alabama state line into western Florida on Wednesday morning. Several roads were also closed throughout Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

Fire rescue crews weren't able to respond to some calls for help because of road flooding in and around Pensacola, Escambia County spokesman Bill Pearson said.

"We've had people whose homes are flooding and they've had to climb up to the attic," Pearson told The Weather Channel on Wednesday morning.

Pearson said emergency officials had described it was the worst flooding they had seen in 30 years. He cautioned that waters will continues to rise after the rain stops. "If it's a body of water, it poses a safety threat today," he said.

(FORECAST: Pensacola | Mobile)

In Alabama, much of downtown Mobile was flooded and a reverse 911 was sent to residents at Fish River, near Silverhill, where water levels were at their highest for 60 years.

Baldwin County crews had been rescuing stranded people since before midnight and some were in shelters Wednesday morning, emergency management director Mitchell Sims told ai.com the flooding is historic.

"As soon as we get a water rescue team in here, they're sent back out," Sims said. "We're rescuing people from cars, from rooftops, from all over the place.

"I think we're going to be dealing with this for days," added Sims, who estimated that 12 to 17 inches of rain had fallen in 24 hours. "I don't know where the water's going to go. Everything is saturated."

Tuesday was Mobile's fifth-wettest day in 143 years, the National Weather Service said.

The thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected to continue throughout the morning in the region and could linger well into the afternoon, said Jonathan Erdman, weather.com meteorologist

Grote schade door overstromingen Florida
Overstromingen als gevolg van zware regenval hebben in het noordwesten van de Amerikaanse staat Florida zware schade aangericht. Bruggen en wegen zijn weggespoeld en veel huizen zijn ondergelopen.

De snelweg die het oosten en het westen van de staat verbindt, is tussen Fort Walton Beach en Panama City op diverse plaatsen afgesloten, meldt nieuwszender CNN.
De overstromingen hebben een 67-jarige vrouw het leven gekost. Zij reed dinsdagavond (plaatselijke tijd) een sloot in en verdronk. Rick Scott, gouverneur van Florida, heeft de noodtoestand uitgeroepen. Volgens hem zijn driehonderd mensen gered.

"Mensen hebben alles verloren, en ze hadden geen verzekering afgesloten voor overstromingen, omdat ze dachten dat ze niet in een gebied woonden waar overstromingen konden plaatsvinden", aldus Scott.

Alabama
Ook in de aangrenzende staat Alabama is sprake van wateroverlast. Het water steeg daar op sommige plaatsen zo snel dat mensen het dak van hun huis op vluchtten.
Andere delen van de Verenigde Staten werden deze week door tornado's getroffen. Daardoor kwamen zeker 34 mensen om.

Tornado outbreak death toll rises to 35
Sunday and Monday’s tornado rampage across the Midwest and Southeast U.S. brought at least five EF-3 tornadoes and one EF-4 tornado, and has claimed 35 lives. For the 24-hour period beginning at 8 am Monday, SPC logged 72 preliminary tornado reports from five states. An additional 35 preliminary tornado reports came on Sunday, bringing the two-day preliminary tornado total to 107. The deadliest tornado was an EF-3 that killed 14 people in Arkansas, ravaging the towns of Mayflower and Vilonia. Damage surveys are not yet complete, but the strongest tornado rated so far was an EF-4 with 185 mph winds that hit Louisville, Mississippi on April 28. The tornado killed nine people, carved a damage path 35 miles long and up to 3/4 mile wide, and stayed on the ground for 56 minutes. The NWS survey noted:

“THIS TORNADO PRODUCED A LARGE AREA OF EF2 TO EF4 DAMAGE ALONG ITS PATH. HUNDREDS OF STRUCTURES WERE HEAVILY DAMAGED AND THOUSANDS OF TREES WERE SNAPPED AND UPROOTED. THE EF4 DAMAGE CONSISTED OF SEVERAL HOMES AND APARTMENTS THAT WERE REDUCED TO SLABS...INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS THAT WERE COLLAPSED...CHICKEN HOUSES THAT WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH LITTLE TRACE LEFT OF THEM...DEBARKED AND DENUDED TREES AND A COLLAPSED CELL TOWER.”

The deadly and devastating U.S. severe weather outbreak of April 27 - 30, 2014, has finally drawn to a close. The death toll from nature’s 4-day rampage of deadly tornadoes, extreme flooding, and damaging severe thunderstorms has killed at least 39 people, and will end up costing more than $1 billion, according to disaster expert Steve Bowen of Aon Benfield. NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center (SPC) lists 133 preliminary tornadoes over the four days in 14 states; damage surveys are on-going, and 38 of these tornadoes had been confirmed as of noon on May 1.

Tornado Smithfield may be deadliest in NY state history
The storm that killed four people in Smithfield, New York, on Tuesday evening may have been the deadliest tornado in New York state history.

A survey team from the National Weather Service in Binghamton, New York, determined that a tornado destroyed the homes where four people were killed in this upstate New York town.

The survey crew completed its survey Wednesday afternoon, concluding that the tornado packed winds of up to 125 mph, earning it an EF2 rating on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.

Deadliest Tornado Status Disputed

The status of New York's deadliest tornado is in dispute. According to official data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, that dubious distinction belongs to a storm that killed nine children at the East Coldenham Elementary School in Orange County on Nov. 16, 1989.

The children died when a wall fell on them during the storm. While the National Weather Service concluded that the damage was caused by an F1 tornado, the pioneer of modern tornado survey techniques disagreed.

Dr. Theodore Fujita surveyed the damage from that event and concluded that a microburst, rather than a tornado, caused the damage. His findings were later rejected by the Governor of New York, and NOAA continues to list the event as a tornado in its Storm Data catalog.

(MORE: Worst November Tornado Outbreaks)

Even in the immediate aftermath of the 1989 tragedy, there was disagreement over what caused it. A Nov. 17, 1989 article in the New York Times called it a "hurricane-force gust of wind" while noting that several eyewitnesses and the county police believed it to be a tornado.

According to tornado historian Tom Grazulis, the next-deadliest tornadoes on record in New York history each killed three people and each occurred over 100 years ago:

A tornado moved from Onondaga Lake to just north of Syracuse on Sept. 15, 1912, killing three and injuring 40.
A tornado slashed through the town of Willing in Allegany County on Sept. 28, 1884. Three died and 31 were hurt.
Tuesday's tornado will go into NOAA's record books as the second-deadliest tornado in New York history. But in the view of some meteorologists, the Smithfield tornado qualifies the deadliest in state history.

Governor Sees "Pattern of Extreme Weather"

In a press conference Wednesday, Governor Andrew Cuomo lamented the number of disasters during his tenure in office.

"Unfortunately, in my three and a half years as governor, I've seen too many disasters," Cuomo said. "And I've been in settings like this too often."

Citing 11 federally declared disasters in his tenure, Cuomo added, "There is a pattern of extreme weather that is different. We're seeing things that we've never seen. We see floods where homes that have been dry for 100 years get hit with floods and get totally destroyed."

Cuomo said the state had begun citizen preparation training sessions to cope with the spate of natural disasters. "We don't get tornadoes in New York, right? Anyone will tell you that. Well, we do now."

In fact, according to The Weather Channel severe weather expert Dr. Greg Forbes, 418 tornadoes struck the Empire State from 1950 through 2012, ranking New York 30th among all states in total tornadoes, and 36th in tornadoes per square mile.

Is New York Actually Seeing More Tornadoes?

New York's tornado density was 2.10 tornadoes per 10,000 square miles per year from 2000 to 2012, a 71-percent increase from 1.22 in the 1950-1999 period.

However, improved reporting methods have vastly increased the annual number of reported tornadoes in the United States. Many experts believe there is no long-term upward or downward trend in the actual number of tornadoes in the U.S., noting that reports of the most obvious, powerful tornadoes have not shown any upward trend.

For the nation as a whole, the tornado density went from 2.30 in the second half of the last century to 3.66 for 2000-2012, an increase of 59 percent. New York's tornado counts are growing slightly faster than the nation as a whole, but it is unclear whether that is due to increased tornado activity above and beyond the improved reporting system.

Severe Weather Forecast: A Few Severe Storms Possible on Thursday`

A rainy weather pattern will be accompanied by some thunderstorms in the South late this week.

Although widespread severe weather is not expected from the disturbances causing the rain, a few storms could turn severe. This potential threat will mainly stay confined to the Gulf Coast states.

On Thursday, the chance for a few severe storms will be from Louisiana and southeast Arkansas to Mississippi, southern/central Alabama, southwest Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. The main threats are localized damaging wind gusts and perhaps a brief tornado. Heavy rain could also trigger local flash flooding.

Below, we have more details on severe weather threats across the country. You can scroll down the page, or click on these links to jump to your area of interest.

25 Years Ago Today: An Early Outbreak for Tornado Alley

The U.S. is in the midst of an extremely quiet March for severe weather thus far, with no tornadoes and only three reports of large hail. Things looked far different 25 years ago today, as the central Great Plains endured its worst late-winter tornado outbreak on record. From March 11 to 13, 1990, more than 60 tornadoes plowed across Tornado Alley, from north Texas to Iowa. The meteorological setup for this outbreak was classic, but the seasonal timing wasn’t. Never before or since have such strong tornadoes been observed so far northwest so early in the year.

Figure 2. Tracks and intensities of the tornadoes observed on March 13-14, 1990, across the central Plains. Image credit: National Weather Service.

The standouts of this outbreak were two long-lived F5 tornadoes that raked central Kansas on the late afternoon of March 13. The twisters were the first in a family of five generated by a single supercell thunderstorm. The first one developed near the town of Pretty Prairie, west of Wichita, and went on to strike the town of Hesston near the end of its 48-mile path, destroying more than 200 homes. As this F5 tornado narrowed and dissipated, a new one formed about a mile to its north within the same larger-scale circulation. An analysis by eminent tornado scientist Theodore “Ted” Fujita found that the two twisters likely rotated around a common axis as the first one dissipated and the second one expanded, delivering a glancing blow to the town of Goessel along its 22-mile path. There have been only four other days since 1950--and none so early in the year--with at least two tornadoes producing F5 or EF5 damage (May 25, 1955; May 15, 1968; April 3, 1974, and April 27, 2011).

Despite the strength and longevity of the Hesston and Goessel tornadoes, they caused only two fatalities. The low death toll becomes even more impressive when you consider the limits of communication and warning technology circa 1990. At that time, the National Weather Service office in Wichita still relied on a 1957-vintage, pre-Doppler weather radar that tracked precipitation but provided no wind data. ”We would draw what we saw on a reflection plotter and then trace contours on a paper map overlay to locate a storm geographically,” recalled Randy Steadham, who was filling in as meteorologist in charge of the Wichita NWS office. The emergence of a classic hook echo on radar, plus a number of eyewitness reports, helped the office to track the storm closely and issue updates roughly every 9 minutes, which made it to the public via radio, TV, and NOAA Weather Radio.

1990 Hesston, Kansas Tornado

Tornado season is off to a slow start
But March has been known for its deadly and notable severe weather outbreaks in the past.

Not a single tornado has been reported to the National Weather Service so far in March, which typically marks the first month of severe weather season in the Plains and Southeast. According to the Weather Channel’s severe expert Greg Forbes, the only other year since 1950 that there have been zero tornado reports in the first half of March was 1969.

Just seven severe weather reports — two for large hail and five for strong winds — have been reported so far this month. From 1991 to 2010, an average of 80 tornadoes were reported in the month of March across the United States, with the largest number being reported in the South.

January and February were also extremely quiet, weather.com reports:

As of March 12, only 27 tornadoes had been documented across the nation, according to statistics from The Weather Channel severe weather expert Dr. Greg Forbes. This is the slowest start to the year, tornado-wise, since the 21 tornadoes recorded through March 12, 2003.

February was eerily quiet, with only two tornadoes reported during the month; one in California, the other in Florida. According to statistics kept by Dr. Forbes, only three other Februaries since 1950 saw two or fewer tornadoes in the U.S.: 2010 (1), 2002 (2) and 1964 (2).

Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist at the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) noted only four tornado watches were issued by the SPC in January and February combined, the fewest in the year’s first two months since 1985 required only two tornado watches.

Another disturbance will move into the Plains on Wednesday bringing the risk for large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes.

The first severe thunderstorm watch of 2015 was issued over parts of four states as the first threat of organized springtime severe weather targeted the nation's midsection on Tuesday. There were more than 60 reports of hail between 1 and 2 inches in diameter on Tuesday night.

In what has been a very quiet year for severe weather, NOAA's Storm Prediction Center had issued only four watches this year before Tuesday's watch. All of those were tornado watches – three in January and one in February.

Wednesday: Scattered severe thunderstorms should again break out by mid-late afternoon, this time near the intersection of a bulge in a surface dryline and cold front in Oklahoma, north Texas and southeast Kansas. During the evening, this activity is expected to form a squall line and push across central and southern Missouri and at least northern Arkansas. Damaging winds and large hail will again be the primary threats, but a tornado cannot be ruled out.

Severe Storms Looming for Early April

The first ten days of April could produce more severe weather than the modest amount racked up so far across the U.S. in 2015. The same upper-level pattern that kept the West warm and the East cold through most of the winter has also kept severe weather to a minimum, as northwest flow and a series of cold fronts pushed warm, unstable air off the U.S. mainland. This year through March 30, we’ve seen a preliminary total of a mere 38 tornadoes, compared to a January-March average over the preceding three years of 163. As of Tuesday morning, NOAA’s Storm Prediction Center had issued just four tornado watches and four severe thunderstorm watches for the year thus far. This compares to a long-term Jan.-Mar. average (1970 – 2014) of around 39 tornado and 24 severe thunderstorm watches, according to SPC’s Greg Carbin.

The 2015 numbers look destined to rise over the next few days, as a major circulation change takes place over North America. The long-prevailing northwest flow is being replaced this week by more zonal (west-to-east) flow, with an embedded upper-level impulse reaching the Midwest on Wednesday and another targeting the Southern Plains on Thursday. A moist low-level air mass is already in place, with dew points close to 60°F from Tulsa, OK, to Birmingham, AL. Surface low pressure generated by the upper-level impulses should continue to pull the moisture pool northward and generate unstable conditions. SPC placed a broad belt from Oklahoma to Georgia under a slight risk of severe weather for Tuesday afternoon and evening, with large hail possible as the moisture continue to flow north.

A large swath of the Great Plains is under an slight risk for Wednesday, from northwest Oklahoma to southern Minnesota, with an slight risk in place for Thursday across part of the Southern Plains and mid-Mississippi Valley. The predominantly west-to-east upper flow combined with southerly low-level flow will enhance vertical wind shear, a key ingredient in the formation of supercell thunderstorms. The main threats appear to be high winds and large hail, although tornadoes can’t be ruled out. As was the case last Wednesday, when F2 tornadoes struck the Tulsa suburb of Sand Springs and the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore, the corridor from Interstate 44 into east central Oklahoma could be a particular focal point for supercell formation by late Thursday. Severe weather may continue into the lower Mississippi Valley on Friday before the associated cold front moves into the Gulf of Mexico.

Forecast models indicate a strong upper-level trough will settle across the Great Basin by early next week, setting the stage for what could be a more extensive multiday round of severe weather beginning as soon as Sunday. A strong surface low should develop over the High Plains by late in the weekend, pulling unstable air back northward across a large area beneath west-southwest upper flow. Strong thunderstorms could spread across the Midwest and South by early next week, with several days of focused severe weather possible.

SRN AND CNTRL PLAINS THROUGH THE LOWER MO VALLEY...

PARTIALLY MODIFIED GULF AIR IS IN PLACE OVER THE SRN PLAINS...AND
LOW-LEVEL LOW TO MID 60S F DEWPOINTS SHOULD CHARACTERIZE MUCH OF THE
WARM SECTOR DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE 00Z WED RAOBS INDICATE AN EML
WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES HAS ALREADY ADVECTED ABOVE MUCH OF THIS
REGION...AND DIABATIC WARMING OF THE BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD BOOST
MLCAPE TO 2500-3500 J/KG WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. ELEVATED STORMS MAY
DEVELOP EARLY IN THE PERIOD NORTH OF THE STALLED FRONT FROM ERN KS
INTO MO...AND SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY POSE A THREAT FOR LARGE
HAIL. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT MOST OF THE WARM SECTOR WILL
REMAIN CAPPED MUCH OF THE DAY. SOME MODEL SOLUTIONS INITIATE STORMS
BY EARLY AFTERNOON FROM NRN TX INTO OK...BUT THIS ACTIVITY MIGHT BE
MID-LEVEL CONVECTION ROOTED ABOVE THE CAP AND DEVELOPING IN RESPONSE
TO THE SRN-STREAM JET STREAK.

CURRENT THINKING IS THAT SFC-BASED STORMS WILL INITIATE ALONG THE
DRYLINE-FRONT INTERSECTION OVER NCNTRL OK OR SCNTRL KS BY LATE
AFTERNOON...WHILE OTHER MORE ISOLATED ACTIVITY MAY DEVELOP FARTHER
SW FROM THE ERN TX PANHANDLE INTO WRN TX WITHIN ZONE OF DEEP MIXING
ALONG THE DRYLINE. DEEP-LAYER SHEAR PROFILES WILL STRENGTHEN TO
40-50 KT WITH APPROACH OF THE MID-LEVEL JET STREAK SUPPORTIVE OF
SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY LARGE HAIL. THREAT FOR
TORNADOES /A COUPLE OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG/ WILL ALSO INCREASE BY
LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING AS THE LLJ STRENGTHENS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH DEEPENING LEE LOW. ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
NEWD THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY AREA DURING THE EVENING WITH A
CONTINUED THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND AND A FEW TORNADOES.
GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE...AN UPGRADE TO MODERATE
RISK MIGHT BE NEEDED IN LATER UPDATES ONCE MORE

Waarschijnlijk een tornado op de grond? Lijkt wel zo op de radar:

Here's the latest news from this round of severe weather:

A 75-year-old Hendricks County, Indiana, woman was killed after falling into a stream. She was clearing debris from a flooded ditch.

Five people were injured after a Tulsa school bus rolled off Highway 75 in Oklahoma. Weather and speeding appear to be factors.

A severe thunderstorm caused significant damage in Potosi, Missouri, between 3:30 and 4 p.m. CDT Wednesday afternoon. Some buildings lost roofs in the storm. There was a report of a possible tornado in the area, but there were no photos of the purported tornado.

Grapefruit-sized hail was reported around Sullivan, Missouri, around 2:30 p.m. CDT. There are reports of smashed car windshields and damage to homes. Hail up to the size of softballs struck Farmington, Missouri, around 4:45 p.m.

A tornado touched down in Comanche County, Kansas. Minutes later, the same storm spawned another tornado, which lasted 3 to 5 minutes, in rural Barber County, Kansas.

A University of Dayton student is in serious condition after being struck by lightning on campus.

Zeker één dode door tornado in Illinois
De tornado die donderdagavond door Illinois raasde heeft minstens één vrouw het leven gekost. Meerdere mensen zijn gewond geraakt en verschillende gebouwen werden vernietigd.
Een 67-jarige vrouw uit Fairdale werd dood teruggevonden in haar huis. Door een inslag op een restaurant hebben een tiental mensen vastgezeten in de kelder maar reddingswerkers hebben die intussen kunnen bevrijden. De tornado is één van meerdere die over het gebied trokken. Volgens het weerstation zou er meer slecht weer op komst zijn.
