Backwards Tornado

#1 Postby Nalora » Wed May 14, 2003 9:59 am

Well, once again on local news here in Oklahoma City we got to see something most folks will never see.

David Payne (my fav. meteorologist and storm chaser extraordinaire)

caught on tape a BACKWARDS tornado! 70 minutes of it apparently too! We got to see it on the news last night. I checked News 4 site to see if they put a piece of that on their web page but alas...a no go.

Tonight they are going to show us:

Coming Up on NewsChannel 4
at 10:00 pm: See an odd looking truck that's built to drive inside a tornado. A steel beast that will take it's passengers into the eye of the storm. Get a tour of the fearless machine tonight at 10.

On average, about 1 in 1000 tornadoes ever spin anticyclonically. (Usually these do not count satellite vorticities - tornadoes spinning around a parent tornado).

A very rare occasion indeed.
