When I first moved to Dallas in 77 the tv station's radar in OK were in color while Harold Taft had a radar that like it came out a B29
Now that I am back in OK, I noticed today a whole bunch of terminology I had never heard before
mutiple vortex tornado
A
multiple vortex tornado is a
tornado that contains several vortices rotating around, inside of, and as part of the main
vortex
elephant tornado
"
Elephant Trunk"
Tornado At its mature peak, the Sargent
tornado developed this striking, tapered,
elephant-trunk shape. Sunlight shone through the
maxy wedge tornado
Large single-vortex tornadoes can look like large
wedges stuck into the ground, and so are known as "wedge tornadoes" or "wedges".
btw the worst of tornados today stopped 5 miles south of me and I hear DFW had their problems. Texas is ahead of OK in most cases but when it comes to weather OK is one up
