OT: Independence Day

[PooPopsBaldHead]

I'm going to need all active and former military personnel (especially pilots) to meet me at Area 51. We have a little less than 2 weeks to plan and execute our counterattack...



Seriously @Hugh's Burner Phone and other weather nerds... WTF is this? I took this just a few minutes ago outside of Palo Duro Canyon about 15 miles Southeast of Amarillo.

That is a discrete supercell. It actually happens to be tornado warned, too.

Can also see an overshooting top on the righthand side of the storm at the very top. That's the location of the storm updraft.

I decided not to chase it. Because I don't want to die today.

To paraphrase John Travolta's character in Broken Arrow: We all die...That's just as good a reason as any.

But I'm betting the chaser convergence around that storm is so thick you could barely drive.

Better plan an attack vs Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH also. That's where most of the alien stuff is hidden that used to be in Area 51.

That storm in the picture actually produced a violent tornado yesterday that did cause at least one fatality.

Doesn't look as bad as the one that hit Rolling Fork earlier this year.....but I guess any tornado is a bad one.
