East Tennessee Weather II

Seems like Samburg took a direct hit.

Has there ever been a quad-state tornado? Because this is coming close to being one.
One of the worst outbreaks in a while. Tornado beginning to move out of Lake County towards Hickman, KY. Lake County Sheriffs Dept just reported Samburg took major hit. This tornado I think is the one that has been on the ground for over an hour traveling about 150 miles on the ground.

This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. TAKE COVER NOW! [\QUOTE]

is possible.


The tornado will be near...
Clinton around 910 PM CST.
Fulgham around 915 PM CST.

This includes Interstate 69 in Kentucky between Mile Markers 1 and 8.

"Complete destruction is possible"

You don't see this kind of wording in a tornado warning very often.
 
I've been following severe weather for a long time. I don't think I've ever seen a storm with this kind of a debris signature.

Edit: Just measured it, that debris ball is 4 miles wide...
