Degrees of damage. DoD and DI (damage indicators) are used to estimate wind speeds of tornadoes based on damage with the EF (Enhanced Fujita) scale.

Yo, are you also a meteorologist?

 

[SoilVol]

Also, @SoilVol , do you use RadarScope?

No I've been using MyRadar, but a friend highly recommends RadarScope. You like it?

 

[SoilVol]

"MetVol" name checks out...

I always thought he was a New York Mets Mets Mets Mets Mets Mets Fan.

Oh, it's the absolute best product out there. It is expensive, but it is worth it if you like to follow tornado events in real time.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Ryman.

Longest merch line I’ve ever experienced there too. Awesome to see him finding success.

It is! I stumbled onto him probably, 3-4 years ago, and he keeps putting out great songs.

I was outside in my car when a microburst came through the morning of April 26 2011 when so many were killed in Alabama. This tree was a few feet from my car. That’s me in the pic and I’m 6’3”. I could feel the back end of my car being lifted off the ground. That was not a fun 45 seconds. There were hundreds of trees this size brought down on campus. I can’t image an actual tornado. Praying for everyone affected.View attachment 419571View attachment 419572

Wow, that is a huge tree. I remember that day well. I was a student and lived in Fort Sanders at the time…that storm did $6,000 worth of hail damage to my vehicle. Prayers to those affected. Stay safe everyone.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Wow, that’s a big tree for Knoxville. I remember that day well. I was a student and lived in Fort Sanders at the time…that storm did $6,000 worth of hail damage to my vehicle. Prayers to those affected. Stay safe everyone.

This was actually in Rome, GA.

 

[csheaton]

This was actually in Rome, GA.

Well that explains it then. Don’t see too many that size uprooted in East Tennessee.

 

[SoilVol]

Well that explains it then. Don’t see too many that size uprooted in East Tennessee.

Tbh, I've never seen a sawtooth oak uprooted ever, which is what the second picture appears to be. Their architecture can be like a live oak when they get large. Lots of those on UT's campus.

 

[TheRain]

Good.

 

[GVol1966]

Does it bother anyone that his mom was carrying an automatic weapon in her purse and he knew it was there

Not at all

 

[Jackcrevol]

There’s DoD of like 23 out of Mayfield, would you agree? EF5 looking stuff.

Timmer has a video posted from MO. It looked like an F5, singular tornado with 200 mile track. Probably miles wide. Has to be.

 

[drvenner]

That’s interesting

You do realize that this is the finger paint dude....

I mean I hope he is right, but not the most reliable source IMO.

 

[RikidyBones]

It's hard to fathom a tornado being a mile wide.

Nature is scary as ****

 

[Volsdeep4]

No worries. You are right. So, I do not work in broadcast meteorology. I work as a research meteorologist for a company here in Huntsville. I mainly work in missile defense, but I like to keep up with current weather events as much as possible and forecast for them. My main area of expertise is radar meteorology, so I was watching that tornado for around 5 hours last night. The only other time I have seen a storm like that was the April 27th, 2011 outbreak.

You work on the military base there in Huntsville? I’ve been there a bunch with all the new construction going on. Pretty neat little nasa setup they have

 

[Vols4us]

Yeah, with guys returning and no transfers since the end of season, we will have to fill (and stop) at the 85. Not a bad thing at all!!

A great thing. The guys we retain are totally bought in and being developed in the new system. Messaged sent to CFB and the rest of the SEC.

I do not work on the arsenal, yet. It is definitely a possibility in the future, though. Huntsville's population is exploding right now.

 

[Glitch]

Will the last person out of Clemson, please turn out the lights.

I am certainly not one to poke fun at a person's name. Names often have a long rich heritage that a person can and should be proud of. With that being said, what kind of a last name is Turnipseed?!? Many family names come from their ancestor's profession like Farmer, Cartwright, Thatcher, Taylor, or Miller. Some last names come from when a person immigrated and they were given the last name of the town or region in which they came from in their old country. Who decided to go with Turnipseed? What was the reasoning? You can choose anything and you settle on Turnipseed?


Ok.

 

[MetVol]

Yo, are you also a meteorologist?

Yo, I am a meteorologist haha. Been busy and haven't been on here as much for awhile, but finally getting back on when I have the chance.

 

[GVol1966]

I hate Mu**ay St.

I love Murray State! Used to live about 10 miles from campus

That is awesome! Do you work in Knoxvegas?

 

[Nuctech777]

Taking my son to his first basketball game today. Any parking recommendations? The closer the better, I don’t mind paying.

I don't like you

You might be able to find some street parking beside/behind the baseball field. Sometimes they have paid spots in front of Neyland. There’s also always the option of parking on the AG campus and riding the bus for free. It’s not close but you don’t have to walk much (just might have a little wait after the game for a bus).
