Potentially Guam’s first tornado on record

I was able to find footage of a funnel in Guam in 2019, but beyond that, I can’t find anything suggesting Guam has had a tornado on land before today. Bavi has been historic

Full condensed tornado in Alaska yesterday.

Photo credit is Alpine Creek Lodge Alaska in Cantwell, Alaska (screenshot posted by Nick Krasznavolgyi).

This would be the 7th tornado to touchdown in Alaska since 1950 if confirmed. All have been E/F0

Potential Strong Tornadic Waterspout off the coast of Guam

Looks as if it could be quite strong. Likely many more to come in typhoon bavi

Tornadic waterspout and supercell with VORTEX HOLE in the western bands of Typhoon Bavi. Incredibly fucking impressive. We've never seen tornadic supercells on the S and SW side of a Northern Hemisphere tropical system before!

Triple funnel clouds in Iowa this morning. Happy 4th!

No questions or anything, just figured people would enjoy seeing these 3 funnel clouds spotted in NW Iowa this morning. Not my image, just saw it on facebook.

Reece's Corners, ON F4 | May 2, 1983.

Reece's Corners is certainly one of the more photogenic tornadoes of Canada.

Southern Wisconsin storms

Everyone always talks about the storms in Illinois but could we at least acknowledge the fact that southern Wisconsin has been getting hit a fair amount. I’ve had some sort of severe thunderstorm/tornado warning every week for the past month. Specifically the storm on July 3rd caused widespread damage across my county and left me without power for 20 hours and many still don’t have any power. I know Illinois is far more vulnerable but Wisconsin isn’t getting off the hook too easy here.

It is crazy that, in just a single day, there were more violent tornadoes than during the entire year of 2011.

2011 was one of the worst years for tornadoes in history—if not the worst—featuring hundreds of extreme events and a insane number of major outbreaks, including the 04/27 Super Outbreak. Yet, despite all that, an unprecedented number of violent tornadoes occurred in just a few hours on April 3, 1974—which is truly remarkable.

edit: It is very interesting how this community's opinion regarding 1974 has changed, because in this old post, the consensus was that the standings wouldn't change much: https://www.reddit.com/r/tornado/s/skAXhPD3wt

now, the general opinion has shifted.

Funnel cloud or SCUD?

Was driving to Kwik Trip outside of Clyman WI and saw this headed toward me. It disappeared shortly after I took this picture couldn’t get a good read on if it was rotating.

Damage in Plainfield, Illinois after the 1990 tornado.

On the afternoon of Tuesday, August 28, 1990, a storm system spawned numerous tornadoes, including an F5 in Plainfield, Illinois, which left 29 people dead and 353 others injured along a 16 to 16.5-mile path. It moved in an unusual direction, southeast as opposed to the northeast. Despite being in the age of camcorders, there is no video or photo of the tornado itself in progress. All that remains is the destruction it left behind. Low cloud bases and heavy rainfall obscured the circulation, which made the tornado difficult to see and confirm. It was also poorly warned as there was no warning issued until after the tornado lifted. In 1993, three years after the tornado, the National Weather Service in Chicago reduced its workload by creating an office in Romeoville alongside Lincoln, Illinois in 1995, and allowing offices in the Quad Cities, St. Louis, Missouri, Indianapolis, Indiana, and Paducah, Kentucky to issue forecasts in their respective areas.
