as opposed to just a debris ball. It can happen when a SUP with an embedded strong tornado (that one was over a mile wide for awhile) is trailed by strong SUP's that are riding the same strong updraft because there's not much "lateral" motion with an eastward component of the dryline and the trailing storms keep debris in the air long after the big cyclone passed. If you watched these storms today they didn't move much east it was more north. The main upper level system that's causing this isn't moving much and its going to keep rolling little shortwave bowling balls over roughly the same areas through Sunday which sucks. The atmosphere is still loaded with shotgun soundings. Would've been there in my younger years.
Classic early Spring Tornado Alley outbreak. Haven't seen one of these in a while.
