Going through footage and photos of the Greenfield tornado. At one point there were these subvortices that looked like a DNA Helix! This tornado will be studied for years! @ReedTimmerUSA @theScantman @localmanweather

Throughout time, tornadoes have been one of the most famous phenomena to be documented on earth. Towards the middle of the 20th century, twister photography became much more common. So, In this thread, we will look at tornado pictures in every year from 1950-1975! #tornado

Sitting under a late July supercell in Illinois. Can’t believe I haven’t chased in two months. #ILwx

New image of the Minden, IA tornado from Friday when it crossed over highway 880/I-80 and was moving northward. It quickly downscaled into a strong stovepipe tornado before returning to a wedge shape later as it headed towards Harlan, IA. #iawx

The most incredible tornado I’ve chased. So many emotions, it’s hard to describe. New video out this evening.

Not surprised at all with the EF3 rating for the Council Bluffs, Iowa #tornado intercepted on I29 with the Dominator 3 - I’ve experienced a few hundred strong tornadoes from close-range, and the roar is very distinct every time. I use my ears to gauge intensity more than eyes

The key to intercepting a #tornado with an HP supercell is to have an intimate relationship with the occlusion process. The storm will give you visual clues when it is about to produce a tornado. The occlusion process that led to the New London, IA tornado is shown here
