Vortex2's first tornado

[beamer_ball]

For those who haven't seen this, the Vortex2 team finally intercepted a storm that produced a tornado, and their patience certainly paid off. Some amazing footage caught of the storm and the tornado, from the beginning stages to a large wedge tornado and to the final rope stage. These are the 8 parts to the video but the tornado develops in part 2 and ends in part 5. Part 4 shows a great shot of the tornado roping out and turning horizontally and at one point as its outer rings are breaking up you can see inside the tornado. Some great shots of the storm and some good explanations of it and the tornado by Dr. Greg Forbes of the Weather Channel.

Storm chasing is one of the things I must do before I die.
