  11. 4 years ago, I was outside at work when all the sudden at the corner of my eye I had a small low cloud rotation right above me, I watched in awe as it passed by I mean what else could I do it was to late to run for shelter and then a strong gust of wind nearly knocked me over right as it passed by, thank God that was all it did, I don't know if it was a funnel or not, it sure looked like one.

  12. Geez reed, you captured some amazing photographic images. Especially the orange higher then the white/grey. Right now I'm in the process of painting a picture with similar cloud shape & color, if I can pull it off just right. A big 4×5 foot painting depicting the July 4th 2009 asteroids we passed by. I saw it all & have to put down the image while I'm still here. Good images for color reference you've captured.

  20. Learned some more about the Andover tornado out of this video too. I actually saw the tornado from my job which actually is in Andover, Ks and it was a little too close to home cause if it did not turn right I think I heard one of the storm chasers said after watching other videos of the storm, my house could have be in trouble.

  26. Truly love this style of video, the information boxes are a great touch to helping better understand and educate about these storms even tho you still do an excellent job at describing what is happening before you as always stay safe! Happy chasing!

  29. When the supercell ran into stable air, that apparently killed the tornado. So, it appears that unstable air is a prerequisite for tornadogenesis. Fair enough. Ditto for occlusion. But isn't occlusion the effect of RFD wrapping around the lower level circulation, cutting off (occluding) the inflow of unstable air? So, if the unstable air is occluded, how does occlusion increase the intensity of the circulation?

  31. differences in relative humidity make the air layers in to a thermocouple and because it is unanchored in free air the area of effect will under go electromotive rotation which in the us corresponds to the Coriolis as well as convective forces creating a positive feed back that will persist until the heat and humidity in the layers can equalize.
