Check out this link.http://www.wreg.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The picture below are an example of how fast these things form and how fast the wind and light change,3minutes or less from my front yard. This one never form completely and did not touch down,but the other side of this cell(about 22miles away to the North) the wind shear or speed on the trailing edge of this rotation was 127MPH,Now that is still 1500-1200 feet in the air,and when they touch down it is this shear effect that destroys lives.

I am waiting for another cloud group crossing the Mississippi River,8 miles West of my home,we are under a Tornado watch until 10:00pm,2:40 of watch left,once upgraded to a warning the sirens go off and it is time to get in the safe place in our homes.

Their reporting another cell crossing the river,they are warning of power lose and the main cell is still Just North of my home. I have a 4 hour battery but you can watch live on the link I posted,weather radar here is the best in the world due to the Three big Air domes FEDX,UPS AND DHL, Many do not realize the shuttle could land here or Millington. But because of the airtrafic we at least have a very good get in the shelter warning system.

I and my family are safe,but so many people have been killed or have lost everything,I thought you guys would be interested in how these things look,and they do not always touch down but outside taking these pictures you can feel the air being sucked up into these clouds. Channel 3 has the best radar system but also cameras on the bridges and the buildings near the river. More to follow,

I just shot some more pictures between the to cells,sunshine,white clouds blue sky,then more super cells heading in.Seems the Mississippi River breaks these into rows or cells then you get the light clouds then more Hell.

What is really going on is the Tornado cells are much lower and the blue sky's are always above them as these roll by it dark then light then dark
