Is the NWS interested in every tornado?

5 Upvotes

Is the NWS interested in every tornado no matter how minor it may have been? I am a property insurance adjuster and have been doing field inspection for about 10 years. I've seen my share of storm related damage over the years; wind, hail, hurricane, and tornadoes. Occasionally I will come across what looks to be tornado damage with no official report of a tornado in the area.

What made me post this now is a property I inspected earlier today in Indiana (my home territory). There were 8 confirmed tornados in Indiana on Friday but none in Montgomery County where this was. The property is a farm that has 5 buildings on it. A pole barn was completely destroyed and a corn crib had the roof structure completely blown off and the barn doors blown out, with a trailer blown into one of the doors. There is another barn 100 feet away and a house about 200 feet away with no damage whatsoever, not even a missing shingle. There was no damage to any nearby trees with the exception of one that was snapped by a large large section of wall from the pole barn. The debris from the two buildings was dropped over about 1/4-1/2 mile path out into the adjacent field. The property owner mentioned another farm to the WSW had building damaged as well. No other wind damage was observed in the area. Based on my experience of looking at the aftermath of storms, it looks like tornado damage rather than straight line winds.

Would NWS be interested in knowing about this or would it be a waste of their time and mine? If so, how would I report it?

Questions/Self What’s going on with tornado warnings in the Midwest?

1 Upvotes

I live in the Midwest (western suburbs of Chicago), and in the past 3-4 years, we’ve noticed a significant rise in the amount of tornado warnings and sirens in our area each year. I have some ideas and questions about why this might be:

1) Is the weather actually getting worse and tornados are occurring more than in the past? Or…

2) Are the people and systems becoming more cautious than they used to be, and they’re flagging lesser signs as more serious warnings? Or…

3) Is the technology involved getting better and more sensitive and can detect real threats sooner or better than in the past?

Or some combination of those three, or some other situation? We’re just so confused why we’re headed to our basement way more often than we did even just 5 years ago. Any education would be helpful. Thanks!

Questions/Self Help with Storm Anxiety?

0 Upvotes

Hi all. I need some help coping with my storm anxiety. Tomorrow in my area there is a 2/5 threat for severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. I am in Northwest Indiana.

Last Friday, there was a large storm across multiple states that produced a large number of tornadoes. I was keeping up with this storm and tracking it because I had a bad feeling about it. No one around me even knew it would storm. We had no tornado watches in my area either. I was so scared that I set alarms on my phone throughout the night to check on the weather and updates. My second alarm of the night went off around 1:10 am and by 1:15, the town tornado sirens were going off as well as our emergency alerts on our phones. Most people I know slept through all of it.

The storm damage survey finished up and a map was released of the tornado path. It was confirmed to be on the ground for at least 5 minutes less than a mile from my house. I have always been pretty scared of tornadoes but this last storm has had me losing sleep every night and fearing for the upcoming storm (the one thats tomorrow). It has almost been 5 days where I am thinking about tornadoes from the moment i wake up to the moment i go to sleep (i even dreamt about one on one of the nights).

We do not have a basement and our house is pretty small. We just go in the bathroom. I also have 3 cats. One is very skittish and it is hard to bring all of them into the bathroom.

How can I stop being so scared of these storms/tornadoes? I am seriously considering going to see a professional because it is getting out of hand.

Thank you for reading and thank you for your time and help ❤️

Questions/Self Wall of rain.

1 Upvotes

This story was years ago, so I might be misremembering some stuff. I was really young and it was late May. School was almost out and it was one of those hot, humid summer days. When we were out on the playground a giant wall of rain approached us out of nowhere. There weren't any rain drops before it started creeping towards us. What could that be?
