Extremely dangerous violent rain wrapped tornado passes about a mile south of me causing extensive damage. Video shows the full approach of this monster to Lawrence, Kansas and passing just to the south of my location.
I can imagine how dangerous and scary an approaching rain wrapped would be. I saw another video of this same storm and from the inflow of the tailcloud or others being pulled in you know there is something really evil inside that curtain of rain. Great footage and thank you for sharing. As we head into the height of another tornado season I would like to wish those that enable anyone to share in their experiences a safe season as well as the ones who live in the path of a potential storm or worse. I know sometimes in the aftermath of a catastrophic tornado these chasers can be the first resonders and if roads become impassable they may be the only help availabile for some time. I have seen some real heroic actions from this group. God bless each and all and my prayers each of you have a safe season.
Yes. This is the same tornado. It traveled from southwest of lawrence to the east-northeast, covering more than 30 miles. Linwood is just east of Lawrence a few miles.
If you note the direction of the rain, what you was looking at was not a tornado. That was the hail shaft. The inflowing winds and wrapping rain curtains tells me you were sitting in the inflow notch, and the tornado was still off to your left.
Dennis Hyman The wind was the RFD wrapping around the tornado. The RFD contains high inns, rain and hail. It what creates the hooks on radar. The RDF shrouded the tornado in rain and hail. That is what made this storm the most dangerous.
Jose jr It can but Kansas and Missouri don’t usually have real bad tornadoes. If we do have tornadoes they’re usually fairly small and don’t do much damage.
I used to live in So Cal for about 30+ years, between the Whittier & 1994 Northridge earthquakes & all the shakers in between, as bad as a Tornado is at least I have a warning & a chance for safety. Earthquakes... and I'm talking about 5.5 (Richter Scale) and above is purely frightening and no where to run.
