What gets me is on EVERY video of a live news broadcast, the reporters have to keep calling to the "tower cam operator" to 'please zoom out a bit and pan to the left......Can you PLEASE PAN TO THE LEFT AND ZOOM OUT A BIT???!' and then maybe 15 seconds later, the operator 'FINALLY' zooms out just enough to see and moves just a little. My problem is, If I were on that joystick for the cam, I'd be ALL OVER THAT THING! No one would need to tell me squat! Those people need 2 b fired is all!!!!!
Radar senses storms above the ground, but there is no other factor that can give ground truth to storms than having either a towercam aimed toward the storm and the ground or a good set of eyes on the ground safely tracking the storm on the ground. Applause should go to the technicians who installed this towercam on the Saturn V Rocket at the Space and Rocket Center...
@JamesBarcus30 Here you all had a tornado in Huntsville the month after the tornado we had 18 inches of snow on the ground in Brownsville, Tennessee in February 2010 this weather is always screwed up.
i like how its allmost like time lapse esspicaly when u watch it backwords. never sen what looks like the middle section of a torando form like that its amazeing
I was in the middle of statistics class when that thing went through. Had I known that the night would be filled with incredible weather, I would have skipped class and filmed but I didn't have my camera with me.
Dan Satterfield is one of the best in the business, and well-known nationally. A lot people wonder why he's not working in a larger or more prominent market, but in television a lot of topnotch people prefer working in markets which offer community, family orientation and a close-up relationship with audience. And that surely is Huntsville. Plus the food is great.
As weatner reporters, commenting live, I think they did a good job of informing the public about a likely tornado threat when they got repeated power flashes below that circulation, okay wall cloud evolves to funnel cloud. They were responsible.
Wall clouds rotate; in fact, most tornado warnings originate with large rotating wall clouds. But rotation is not always apparent viewing a wall cloud; likewise, many tornadoes reaching for the surface and in their early lives don't look like they are rotating and in the early stages the updraft may be moving straight up from the ground, not yet twisting with the definition for it to be seen with the eye. The description of the wall cloud correct; the tornado is on the ground but not visible.
i love dan =)

This tornado was a high-based one, not much surface-based instability that day.
