Surprise tornadoes and amazing storm structure near Joplin and Lamar Mo (5/2/24)

Didn’t even plan on chasing but was shocked to see some tornadoes and supercell structure. The first tornado happened within 5 miles of my house… The storm prediction center had a 0% risk for this area, the most surprising tornadoes I’ve seen in 5 years of chasing…

Thanks man! Definitely was not an EF3/4, motion was pretty strong above but the ground circulation was probably closer to EF1 by my estimate

[@LemontHill]
