Another big supercell -- maybe another tornadoPosted May24, 2007 at 08:33 AM
Our group of storm chasers caught another spectacular supercell Wednesday before sunset in the northeast corner of the Texas Panhandle. Unlike Tuesday, when we were almost constantly on the move, we were able to pull along a roadside and watch the rotating storm for about an hour without moving. It appears we may have observed and filmed another tornado (click here for still frame) ... also detected on radar and reported by a sheriff's deputy in the same time frame ... but it wasn't as immediately obvious to us as Tuesday's tornado was. In any event, it was a spectacular show of atmospheric violence amid the peaceful pastures of Texas.
