This supercell held together for 500 miles...crazy!!! Violent tornadoes are rare here. Made me think of the outbreak of Apr 3-4 of 1974, with numerous violent tornadoes hitting the area. These events happen here but they are very rare.

500.1 miles.  That's an incredible length in tornado alley.  I wonder if it's a record in the mountains.  The mountains interrupt the upflow needed to make a tornado stronger; this storm is one for the record books.

Thank you, meterologist, Granny. lol   I took some meterology courses in college. Always loved the science of weather. Just fascinating. The longest-lived supercell was 808 miles back in 2006(Central and Southern Plains). That sucker stayed together for 13 freakin' hours!  The longest tracked tornado in history was the one that struck Mayfield in 2021( 165.7 miles). On the ground for over 165 miles. CRAZY!!!
