I said last night that it was the first time I'd seen a tornado warning make reference to power flashes and severe damage. Well, tonight the jig is up.
Apparently everyone from a novice storm spotter like myself on up to the National Weather Service got duped by erroneous reports. There was never a tornado, even though the radar had a nasty hook. The white mark on the radar returns was a massive hail shaft. The thunderstorm that tracked through Walnut Ridge did have a nasty-looking wall cloud hanging from it, and radar did detect strong low-level rotation, thus the tornado warning was justified. Calling an emergency was not. Oh well, everyone makes mistakes!
Cheers to all,
