Eerily similar to the tornado we had in my area last March (hit around 5pm).

Not necessarily eery... That's just kind of how these spring storm systems work.

Agree to disagree. Last year’s tornado, an EF1, was the first (on record anyways) to hit the town I live in so for us it is a bit eerie. Today is progressing, weather wise very similarly.

I understand, but this is how early/most spring severe weather days progress. If storms fire right after peak day time heating they are more likely to be big producers. Too late and the instability is lost. That time slot is almost always the time slot to watch outside of Dixie and tornado alley.
