    Cool picture. Too bad the subject matter is something that haunts my nightmares.

    Have some nightmare fuel from Joplin, Missouri. 2011. And yes, at 12:30 into that video, That thing on the left of the view screen is exactly what you think it is.



    Nothing but a small condensation funnel, that evolved into the finger of God.

    I almost threw up once I realized what was going on in this picture.

    Lake City, AR tornado. 2 April 2025. Last gif from storm chaser Brandon Copic who got far too close and was frankly luckier than God. The flashes aren't lightning, they're the power flashes from destroyed power lines.

    Yes, most of those upright pieces of wood used to be trees. They're not anymore, not really.

    Lindsey managed to catch this one live, and tipped me off, so I watched it 20 mins after it happened. Was quite something.

    Have a spooky nighttime wedge tornado near Weatherford, TX earlier tonight

    [​IMG]

    And for a bonus, here's a scary tornado identifier on radar that inexplicably (or not, DOGE cuts....) went un-warned for almost 15 minutes while having storm chasers videoing the tornado. Though, admittedly, the wind velocity signature wasn't as impressive.

    [​IMG]

    Here's a composite radar images with more hook echoes than a tackle box. 8 discrete supercell thunderstorms.

    [​IMG]

    And lastly, a stupidly perfect tornadic debris signature, this one had debris lofted over 25,000 feet/7600 meters into the air.

    [​IMG]

    Another example, the Mayfield, KY EF4 tornado in 2021 had debris lofted 38,000 feet/11,500 meters into the air. And yes that purple blob to the right is from the same tornado, it is shit and wood and bricks and trees and things that get blown out of the main mesocyclone. That storm had things that were blown hundreds of miles away and landed that were from the town of Mayfield.
