I don't recall anything like this. There are tornadoes that occur within the circumference of a hurricane, but, not this. This is a Midwest tornado(es) that developed from an autonomous system than the hurricane. Never. The normal troposphere has a tornado season and a hurricane season, but, never both at the same time. Hurricane season isn't suppose to start until June 1st. It's hot. Earth can't get rid of the heat.
This NOAA satellite image taken Friday, May 8,
2015 at 09:45 AM EDT shows a ridge of high pressure building over the
East. Underneath the ridge is a development of a Sub Tropical Storm
named Ana. The storm is slowing moving to the Northwest and expected to
effect North and South Carolina coastline. The biggest effect from the
storm will be heavy rains with winds up to 45 MPH. To the northeast is a
cold front with a streak of clouds that extends from Canada to Maine
and offshore. This is creating cooler conditions for Eastern New
England. Most active weather remains in the Mid-West where thunderstorms
are firing up a long a large cold front. (Weather Underground via AP) (
