Huh! Windy.com shows tornados!

Featured Replies

We're currently getting hit with severe thunderstorms south of where I live.  While I was watching on Windy.com I noticed it showed a tiny circle of lower rain where the news reported a tornado, then saw another a few miles to the east, also reported on the news.  I just now saw another even farther to the east, not reported.

This was on the radar display, which shows lightning strikes and current rainfall.

I didn't know windy would display tornados, even incidentally.  If you're ever in a situation where you have to keep an eye out for tornados, this might be of use.  The circles only appeared on one update of the weather (about every 6 minutes) but you can see them on the one hour historical weather animation.

Stay safe.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

We get a lot of tornadic activity her in Georgia. I will remember this the next time we have a squall line approaching
