October 17th Tornado
A rare tornado event occurred around midnight on 10/17 in the Texas Panhandle S and SE of Canyon. Check out the NWS-AMA report and damage survey for some interesting details. Below is a radar image I captured at the time the tornado was on the ground. That is what I call a "scorpion tail" echo.

Love the human figure on the screen! LOL!! that is neat!
I remember that night. SPC put out a severe thunderstorm watch with the lowest probabilities for tornadoes <10 % and Siggy tornadoes <5 % . I am going to start chasing by when they build something up, or downplay something. It always happens, especially as of late. Here is a function I have created for them.
f(spc 1630 tornado outlook, downgrade from 0600z outlook)= f^-1(spc 1630 outlook) or f(0600z outlook)= actuality for criteria.
f(watch box issuance)=f^-1(watch box issuance)= number of reports for criteria.
I suck at math lol.

So basically f(spc optimism)=bust
or f(spc pessimism)=success especially when downgraded from previous outlooks.
Back to math homework! lol

LOL!! Excellent equations. You might consider adding PDS red boxes to that too. Maybe they need to add that to the RUC and NAM models. :-)
