The wind up and the touch down of a classic spring season tornado in Colorado. #colorado #tornado #supercell #weather #science

Sometimes you chase a day where everything goes exactly how you didn’t expect, but it’s also way more interesting that way. This day in SW Oklahoma featured a localized outbreak of supercells with tornadoes which was absolutely not expected. I left the house thinking that if we saw a supercell for a couple of hours before it dissipated I was going to be pretty happy with the documentation we achieved. Instead, we chased 3 different cells that all produced tornadoes, including one that had one of the most intense radar signatures you could imagine. Wild stuff. This clip is the middle part of that day. #weather #nature #science #oklahoma #tornado #supercell

Watch this tornado’s condensation funnel rapidly widen from a narrow cone to a stovepipe/pillar over open land in SW Oklahoma. This tornado was on the ground for over 40 minutes and was rated EF-2. #tornado #oklahoma #weather #nature #science

Massive multivortex tornado lofting trees hundreds of feet into the air in Oklahoma! This was the starting phase of a terrifying EF-4 tornado that tracked just west of Shawnee, OK and directly impacted the small community of Bethel Acres. This initial multivortex phase already had the look for a violent tornado taking shape. We ended up moving east and documenting this tornado as it shape-shifted from this multi-vortex into a wedge into a giant stovepipe back into a wedge again. This was part of the forgotten tornado outbreak of 2013, the day before the Moore EF5. #tornado #oklahoma #weather #science #nature

Half a tornado? The First Big Chase of 2024 This was the first legit tornado risk day (March 24, 2024) of the year in Oklahoma, with storm chasers far and wide flocking to the Sooner State. #weather #nature #science #tornado #oklahoma
