2005 JUNE 7: JACKSON COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA SUPERCELL AND TORNADO
|
We observed a long-lived supercell and
associated tornado in Jackson County, South Dakota. Tornado touched down
at 2248z and lasted about seven minutes from under the base of a
gorgeous LP that was transitioning into a classic supercell. Chased this
for three hours back up to Interstate 90 where it displayed tightly
sculpted banding, including eddies in the striations which I captured in
my stills. The eddies are a more rare and remarkable phenomena than the
tornadoes. Eric Nguyen commented he hadn't seen this feature since 1998.
That was a very memorable storm for all the
presentations. A photogenic LP that transitioned into a classic (while
producing a needle tornado), to what became a fast-moving HP with
forward flank mesos and eddies in the striations. Can't ask for much
more.
