5 May 2007

Tornado outbreak in KS, very near the location(s) of the tornadoes from the previous evening (including Greensburg). The best daytime storm struggled to produce any tornadoes of consequence, while the stronger tornadoes were again near dark! We (me, Ryan and Corey) managed to see 3 definite tornadoes, though one occurred while driving, and the second was close to sunset and before I got out my tripod.

Mesocyclone region and funnel cloud near Iuka, KS, looking to the SW. A brief tornado was reported near this time, but the weak dust cloud may have been obscured by the trees.

New developing wall cloud on the right, and a funnel-shaped cloud on the left. We could not identify any rotation in the "funnel".

CRW_3830_JFR

CRW_3830_JFR

Wide angle view of large wall cloud to our NW. Tremendous downward motion was observed in the scud tags on the SE side of the wall cloud, and we thought this would produce a fairly significant tornado.

CRW_3833_JFR

CRW_3833_JFR

Ryan admiring the wall cloud. A brief spin up was reported near this time, but the trees may have (again) blocked our view of the possible weak tornado.

CRW_3835_JFR

Funnel cloud aloft, but we never saw any solid evidence of a damaging ground circulation.

CRW_3839_JFR
