What a way to end @TORUSupercell with data on two brief tornadoes in western Oklahoma. It’s been a great month out on the field campaign! #TORUSLItE #okwx

Grungy looking supercell from the @TORUSupercell deployment yesterday. Intense precip in the forward flank and monstrous RFD added extra challenges for the left-flank UAV mission.

Hail along 136 just south of Pringle, TX absolutely shredded the vegetation as the tornado warned storm moved through. We measured 80+mph winds here with up to golf balls. Piles of hail still present @TORUSupercell @t_pardun @bobbysabawx and Twitterless Cole H. @NWSAmarillo

@vaughanweather @mesoanticyclone @WxStelten @CAlexMasse @cuiriss This was the TORUS LItE team during IOP #2.

@mesoanticyclone @WxStelten @CAlexMasse @TORUSupercell @cuiriss If @TORUSupercell @cuiriss could confirm it was their team I'd be happy to correctly tag them in the video on YouTube and send them the raw video.

Anyone know who these chasers / researchers are? youtu.be/WOuvUGdwJj8 #nmwx
