Wow. Thanks for the video. Interesting to see the *live* imagery appearing on the PPI display of that era, showing the movement, the changing of the hook. I'm taking for granted that the motion picture was sped up (maybe 2x - 3x?) from normal.

Even today we don't get the live, real-time motion from NEXRAD, although a number of TV stations have purchased and operate their own weather RADARs and can display RADAR imagery for each sweep though the T-storm.

A classic example of a tornado producing hook echo ... very well defined.

It seems like I read somewhere that when this radar return was first observed that they didn't know that it was associated with a tornado until it was verified that the storm did, in fact, produce a tornado.

This is the first time I have seen the actual radar loop of this event.

Thanks for posting this ... it is cool to be able to look at a piece of meteorological history when very little was known about tornadoes.
