Durham Tornadic Supercell Chase, Aug 20,2009

[pesach613]

You should be tracking a wall cloud which is typical formation towards the southwest quadrant of the storm. They are fairly easy to observe. You have a good view though because your free of HP. That day was a classic 'Oklahoma' type system, with high dew points, a dry line,shear and RFD( rear flank downdrafts). As I observe this, I was in Etobicoke with all my gear but not a single shot (still kicking myself) because a customer distracted me in conversation. But I got some great sunset shots.

@pesach613 Oh I was on the wall cloud(s) as it was a cyclic supercell that I started tracking near Lake huron across to near Durham where construction caused me to lose it.

so the track was estimated at 36 K for this tornado? I wonder where the tornado itself was in the storm? SE side in rain or the sw etc...

You were just on side road south to far because it hit one over from where most of this is filmed and head north east from there

Sorry to hear a person lost their life ... people forget the power these things have. 5/5 stars, for an amazing capture of wicked skies.
