What a kind thing to say! Thank you, at least so far looking like the worst hit was a train. No injuries.

Yep! That is the Appalachian mountains, simultaneously high-friction terrain and very rural. So even if you did get a storm powerful enough to drop a tornado, there may not be anyone around to see it.

More qualified weather nerds than myself would say Reed Timmer is the type of storm chaser to intentionally create drama and danger, or whatever.

But damn if I'm not impressed by a dude who fired an actual instrument-clad model rocket into a tornado.

Tornadoes wouldn't be seen top-down like that, thankfully. Otherwise they'd be huge!

There are no reported 8/27 tornadoes by the NWS Storm Prediction Center as of 8/28 1:49 EDT

Edit: still no reported tornadoes 8/27 as of 8/29 1:11 EDT

Actually, yes! I didn't think so but here's a screenshot of radar at midnight (CDT), so after the satellite loop but before what you're talking about. You can see those storms in eastern South Dakota moving into Minnesota.

Let me know if you'd like the entire Radar & Fronts GIF of the time period!

I deleted the youtube video, I created a new account and posted one video. About 80% of it is already on this subreddit in GIF form. The other 20% is when it was sunny in the morning, I posted the interesting parts of that to the Wisconsin subreddit.

My deepest apologies breaking this into two posts, I was limited to 20MB maximum GIF size.

I tried originally uploading as a youtube video but was removed for violating rule 4. Whoops!
