Welcome to The Weather Scene segment! Each week here on Geek Alabama, The Weather Scene will feature weather related content. Editor / publisher Nathan Young loves weather related content. And this segment will feature something about the weather every week.

In-depth meteorological comparison of the May 4, 2007, and May 18, 2025, tornado outbreaks. Both of these events were eerily similar, particularly across northwest Oklahoma and southern Kansas. On each day, isolated low-precipitation supercells developed along a dryline and produced multiple tornadoes near the town of Arnett, OK, giving way to a long-track, highly cyclic supercell after dark in southern Kansas that produced several strong to violent tornadoes. In the 2007 event, 95% of the town of Greensburg, KS, was damaged/destroyed by an infamous EF5; a tragic repeat nearly occurred during the 2025 outbreak.

In this video, we’ll compare and contrast the background pattern and the near-storm proximity environments that the two cases exhibited.
