A shot from my stream earlier on with MyRadar Weather! (Not to be internet police, but please credit me/MyRadar Weather if you’re posting pictures that we invest time, money and years of expertise into bringing the audience. 🙂)

My gut is that this thing near Netawaka, Kansas is done producing tornadoes, since inflow to south is being interrupted. Still, shelter as a precaution. Tracking LIVE in MyRadar Weather:
