The April 26, 2024 Major Tornado Outbreak, As It Happened...

@metandyhill 

Thanks y'all & all new subscribers who found us today for tuning in. We had likely the best coverage I've ever been a part of in every branch—radar analysis and near-term forecasting of tornado formation, storm chaser footage and ground verification, and the Y'all Squad 501(c)(3) raising six figures of relief funds. Document this stream and its impact for future scientific efforts and historical reviews.

This was the craziest tornado outbreak I’ve seen since march 31st last year.

I watched this all day long. This was an amazing broadcast. We had it playing all day in my fire station. The whole shift and all of our chiefs were watching today just south of Kansas City. Same thing will be happening tomorrow. Thanks for everything you do!

@sincerely-b

I'm tornado-phobic. Got pulled off the ground as a child and managed to catch the side of a pool deck and flew like a flag in the wind until it passed, and that was a baby tornado. Ive been terrified since. I cannot imagine dealing with these monsters or living in an area where they are frequent. Truly hoping everyone is ok!! You're doing great work keeping people informed and safe!

I've been living here in Lincoln for almost 11 years, and I haven't been in a event quite like this ever in my life. First time in my life I had that eerie feeling where I thought that I was going to die just seeing the tornado touchdown at my neighborhood. I was emotional hearing and seeing the tornado in Elkhorn as I've never seen anything like that ever. This was truly a unforgettable night, my thoughts and prayers to those who are injured. 🙏

@Maxis_s

Unbelievable day today. Thank you for all the lives you likely saved with your coverage, as well as relaying what was likely tornado footage that got people to shelter in time.

@rmmbulls23

I live in Bennington where the tornado ripped through the damage is very sad. That tornado was a monster the damage it also caused in Elkhorn.. It just shredded neighborhoods. Very sad for those people that lost their homes.🙏

My daughter moved to Lincoln a few months ago. She called me when the tornado warnings went out, as she didn't know what to do, but when the sirens went off, she got to shelter. I tuned in to watch your coverage of the events from my home, here in France. I really appreciated your presentation of all the craziness. I shared your channel with friends and family, of course. Please keep doing what you do, as it really helps keep folks safe and informed. I will be watching today, for sure!

I live in Papillion, NE (Southwest of Omaha) and we got missed by the elkhorn bennington tornado just to our north. The dang sirens went off 5-7 times today. Thanks so much for doing what you do and keeping everyone in america safe! And as always, Great job Ryan!

@PaigeSzupello

Today was absolutely relentless. I don’t know if Ryan will see this but you should drink some “throat coat tea” for your voice! You can get it any grocery store. A lot of music artists drink it after shows. That was quite literally nonstop talking for 9 hours! I hope you guys get some rest and thank you for the UNBELIEVABLE coverage today. You guys are top notch and the only place I go to for weather coverage. Thank you Ya’ll Team! 🙏🏼

@LopezNeedsYou

I was in downtown Omaha and left about 4:15pm and drove south on I-29 and missed getting hit by the big storm that went through Bellevue/Papillion and downtown Omaha. It was scary driving through that!

@Lotusblue234

It's insane to watch stuff like this unfold live. Those cyclical cells in Iowa were wild, and the coverage y'all had was SO detailed. 6 high-quality angles on a storm is sick to begin with, but watching them live??? 100 years ago photos of tornadoes were a rare commodity, and Ted Fujita had precious few videos to work with when he was developing his intensity scale. Now I get a nearly 360 view of a monster hand-off with radar data synced to it and analyzed in real time. Absolutely insane, and we are so lucky to have y'all. 👏👏👏 This team is an invaluable resource for people on the ground. I think the stream of this outbreak is gonna go down in history right along with the storms themselves. I'm traveling through central Kansas tomorrow, and it's a huge comfort knowing I've got Ryan to turn to if we end up having to drive through storms. ❤

@aerosplash

Scary how so many tornadoes turned into violent wedges within seconds of touching down.. Happy to hear the Elementary School took no damage though, there was definitely someone watching over everyone today to hear of no fatalities (to my knowledge.) I hope we get this lucky tomorrow.
