Tornado Chasing

  • YouTube Playlist
    • May 30, 2013: Foot cloud (first and second attempt for a tornado)
    • April 14, 2012: Tornadic Outbreak (Major, Alfafa, Grant, and Woodward, OK Tornados)
    • August 6, 2011: Dust Devils (Tuttle and Okarche, OK)
    • June 11, 2011: Funnel Clouds (Darrouzett, TX)

Perfect Conditions for Dust Devil formation: 

  1. High temperatures
  2. Calm winds (<10 m/s)
  3. Clear skies
  4. Dry regions to cause very steep lapse rates at the lowest 100 m
  5. Topographical obstruction to cause a change in wind flow
