Скачать или смотреть Tornado Outbreak!

On this day, cyclic supercells produced multiple tornadoes throughout Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. There were a total of 54 tornado reports. The most intense tornado of the day was an F4 wedge near Manchester, SD. We did not witness this one. We were further South near Centerville, SD. I was chasing with my chase partner at the time, Peggy Willenberg, along with Brad Nelson, Andy Revering and several film crew members from KSTP Channel 5 in Minneapolis. This was actually Brad's first chase ever. Instead of a large wedge, we saw several different smaller tornadoes. Overall, we counted 12 tornadoes with visible debris, but not all were captured on video. One of the tornadoes was clearly anticyclonic, meaning it was rotating clockwise. Normally, tornadoes in the Northern hemisphere rotate counterclockwise, which is considered "cyclonic" rotation.

Out of my 20 years of chasing storms, this was the day I witnessed the most tornadoes on one chase.
