There is a vortex immediately west of the blow up of convection. What has been interesting about this system all along, structurally, is that it has had extremely long tenticles that has grabbed and drawn energy from hundreds of miles away and it is still doing it now. This is why, I guess, that an extremely sheard system, over run with dry air, has survived and fostered destructive bands of weather displaced hundreds of miles from the LLC. It also has commanded thousands of square miles of weather at any one time. Not too bad for a system that peaked, so far, at 60 MPH. Goes to show that it does not have to be a super storm to reap chaos and havoc on society.
