A tornado went across my area last night! It tracked about 8-10 miles south of me over mostly rural areas. Did cause some considerable damage and unfortunately even 1 fatality in a mobile home. Right now it's rated EF-2.
It came from a long-track tornado producing supercell that came out of east Texas, and went across Louisiana and into Mississippi.
The north part of the supercell went over me. I heard a constant roar while it came over. Not sure if it was wind in the upper levels; surface winds didn't seem that strong. Or maybe it was constant thunder.
This is the one we sheltered in the basement for last night near Greenville, SC (I’m just to right of the airport). Prelim EF2 115mph rating, NWS GSP was helped by NWS Blacksburg to get info out when it approached their building at GSP Airport (KGSP). https://twitter.com/pppapin/status/1254511291831480320
I feel like every season since 2013 has been below average in terms of long-track violent tornadoes. Over 7 years now since the last EF-5. It was almost to a day 8 years between the 1999 Moore tornado and the 2007 Greensburg tornado. I believe that was the longest gap since they began surveying tornadoes and assigning F ratings.
