I only have 2 eyes and 3 open streams. :)

I hope others are watching/reporting on the KS and MO storms.

Wasn’t going to mention that just yet. They reported that with the debris already on the ground from the last one it will make a bad situation worse.

Massive hook. That has to be at least an EF-4. And the storm has turned into a monster supercell. It looked like a line might form but instead convection congealed around that southernmost cell.
