Just count. But, everytime you count, make sure to leave a little note after your number, like so: 1. First
This is pretty self explanatory, I suppose. Just ban the person below/above you. Make sure to specify a reason.
no profanity, discrimination, etc
ALSO hypothetical tornadoes are allowed. maybe you can even include the NWS are something
non-hypothetical example:
Player 1 =-NWS: Okay where is your evidence of F5 damage?
Player 2 - Kellerville, TX 1995 - See here a just swept away an entir-
Player 1 - NWS: No that isn't a house being swept away
Player 2 - Kellerville, TX 1995 - .
hypothetical example
Player 3 - April Fools' Tornado, London UK 2010 - haha 2006 tornado i just got you with my strength, damage and width! nobody can beat me lololol
Player 4 - 2006 Watford-Stevenage - DADDY!!! MY BROTHER IS BULLYING ME AGAIN
Player 5 - 2016 Greater London - APRIL FOOLS, MY SON. do you think that bullying is gonna do good to your very own brother?
To get the full amount of rules go down to the original thread by Tornado genius. I just thought that this was an interesting topic so i decided the recreate the old thread from a few years ago.
How long Have I been watching storms? Probably about three years.
First time on Radar/Live stream? The first time I watched a chasers live stream was on May 20th, 2019. On that day I witnessed the Mulhall, OK EF2, and a tornado near Okumulgee, OK via livestream.
First Tornado via Radar: Cant remember.
First Tornado on Live stream: Okmulgee, OK EF1
Day with the most tornadoes witnessed: May 27th, 2019
Highest Rated tonado Witnessed: EF4
Violent Tornadoes witnessed: Linwood-Bonner Springs, KS EF4 2019
Personal favorite armchair chasing day: May 27th, 2019
Personell Favorite Tornado: Linwood-Bonner Springs EF4; I watched this tornado on Ryan Pitt's livestream and local news livestreams from before it hit the southern side of Lawrence to when it died just a few miles west of downtown Kansas City, KS. I remember every single radar scan just contining to get stronger, and the huge debris balls on radar over Eudora and Linwood respectivily. The Rain curtin that was hiding the tornado was also very menacing, as it just looked like a big gray and dark blue wall covering a beast inside. I also remember the realization in my mind, that I was likely seeing people die. Luckily, that did not happen, but that will still still stick with me for awhile.
The rules are simple. Tell us why you are sad.
Ex. Sad because the NWS is underrating tornadoes. :(
EF-0 Estimated windspeeds: 65-85 mph, Light roof damage, severe gutter damage, small branches snapped, tents thrown, mobile homes take noticeable damage.

EF-4 - Estimated windspeeds - 166 - 200mph, Houses leveled, strong house take insane damage including houses well-bolted to the ground, possible light ground scouring.
EF-5 Estimated windspeeds - 201 - 279 mph, Houses swept clean off their foundations, noticable ground scouring, Hospitals take severe damage, large buildings severely damaged.
EF-6 Estimated windspeeds - 280 - 318 mph, strong ground scouring, Foundations can take damage (light to moderate), skyscrapers collapse or nearly gone, neighboorhoods take extreme damage, tornado safes nearly gone or destroyed.

Start an tornado argument of your own.

2007 Greensburg tornado: Im the most powerful!
2013 Moore Tornado: Lies lies lies. I am the most powerful!
Insult the National Weather Service, any NWS office for any reason

A lot of us here aspire to go storm chasing some time in our lives. Some of us even have a couple of times, but my question is this. With the power of hindsight, if you could go back in time knowing exactly when, where, and how the thunderstorms and tornadoes would develop and track, what days would you go back in time and chase on, and what storms would you target?
My top 10:
1. June 16, 2014 - Stanton-Pilger-Wakefield, NE EF4s.
2. April 27, 2011 - Flat Rock, AL EF4, Bridgeport, AL EF4, Rainsville, AL EF5 and Ringgold, GA EF4.
3. May 31, 2013 - El Reno, OK EF3
4. May 25, 2016 - Abilene, KS EF4
5. May 24, 2011 - El Reno, OK EF5 and Chickasha, OK EF4
6. May 3, 1999 - Bridge Creek-Moore, OK F5 and Mulhall, OK F4
8. June 8, 1995 - Pampa, TX F4, Kellerville, TX F4 and Dimmitt, TX F4
9. May 27, 1997 - Jarrell, Texas F5
10. May 10, 2010 - Norman, OK EF4
A Game where you gently poke a user in a Friendly way.
--
You can use: Your Fingers, toe, just about anything.. hopefully as long as its nothing as sharp as, say.. a Knife or one of those Medical Syringes? That will not be allowed.
There is a VERY-INTENSE thunderstorm with atleast 60MPH wind gusts and quarter sized hail in my area. why is it only a strong thunderstorm advisory.
Why: Because the guy who issues nightime warnings at the National Weather Service in Northern Indiana fell asleep.
In This game someone is the murder and the bystanders dont know who please when you post use [Muderer] and [Bystander] tags when posting the person who finds a Gun can shoot the suspected Murder and the Murder gets a knife. the game ends when the murder is killed and if the murder kills all bystanders
Rules:
You will be punished if you disobey the rules
This Based off of a GMOD game
Since a lot of us are "armchair chasers", following storm systems on TV, radar, and chaser streams, I thought it would be worth sharing our "armchair chasing" history. Everybody share how long they've been watching storms, when the first storm they watched on radar or chaser stream was, when their first tornado on a live stream was, the day with the most tornadoes they've seen on live stream or radar, the highest-rated tornado they've seen on radar or live stream, a list of the violent tornadoes they've observed on radar or live stream, what their personal favourite "armchair chasing" day was, and their personal favourite tornado seen while "armchair chasing".
For me...
How long have I been watching storms?: About 2 and a half years.
First storm on radar/live stream: December 15, 2014, three EF0 tornadoes in Mississippi
First tornado on radar: January 3, 2015 Rose Hill, Mississippi EF2
First tornado on live stream: March 25, 2015 Sand Springs, Oklahoma EF2
Day with the most tornadoes witnessed: May 24, 2016 Dodge City, KS tornado outbreak
Highest-rated tornado seen on radar/live stream: EF4
Violent tornadoes: Holly Springs, Mississippi EF4 (December 23, 2015), Garland, Texas EF4 (December 26, 2015), Katie, Oklahoma EF4 (May 9, 2016), Abilene, Kansas EF4 (May 25, 2016), Perryville, Missouri EF4 (February 28, 2017)
Personal favourite armchair chasing day: May 24, 2016
Personal favourite tornado: Abilene, KS EF4 (May 25, 2016) - Very long-lived, violent tornado with a beautiful bright yellow colour when lit from the front and an impressive classic wedge shape, also caused some of the most impressive damage since Jarrell (bending CWR railroad tracks) but no fatalities or serious injuries. I followed it on Kelley Williamson's stream for almost all of its 1 hour and 35 minute life.
AAA is an insanely unstable compound that detonates with the slightest perturbation (even inobservably small ones). Fire away with your own reasons!
1. Swearing at it.
