WE GOT DATA!

Check out this first-ever 3-D data set of wind and thermodynamics from the ground up from inside a #tornado!

With a peak wind of 131 mph measured above ground, and greater than 115 mph at ground level outside of suction vortices, it appears this tornado was at least an EF2.

This data set sheds light on the 3-D structure of the dynamic pipe from ground through the vent, showing a high swirl ratio tornado here. The vent is the powerful updraft at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe, the strength of which is proportional to the ceiling of the tornado cyclone below.

We also computed a pressure perturbation with height, with two maximum deficits happening at launch and farther above ground in the dynamic pipe.

Notice the little loop the parachute probe made at the backside of the #tornado at the same time as an RH decrease. We do not believe this is a subvortex here so far above ground.

What do you notice with this data?

We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.

We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

On this day, 27 years ago, we chased what is well-known as the strongest #tornado in History.

This shows the F5 tornado near peak intensity, just after devastating the community of Bridge Creek, Oklahoma.

Aa freshman meteorology students at OU, we stupidly abandoned our Geo Tracker and took shelter under an overpass. Research was published that overpasses can accelerate the tornadic wind and be even more dangerous.

We then saw the terrible devastation in Moore, Oklahoma with horses wandering down the highway and people emerging from their destroyed homes. Over 50 people lost their lives from the May 3, 1999 tornado outbreak.

There was another massive violent tornado with a supercell to the north near Mulhall, Oklahoma that peaked after sunset.

The tornado outbreak was still going when I woke up for class the next morning at 7 am.

This is a day that Oklahomans will never forget. Enjoy the nice weather this May 3,
