Thank you, Jacob Spink for a really great tour of this supercell. I'm so very glad to see you got away from there in plenty of time when you were witnessing the rain wrapped tornado. One thing I always was interested in is the top elevation of the parent supercells of these tornadic supercells. I always wondered how tall the main supercell was in the 22 May 2011 Joplin tornado, the 20 May 2013 Moore, OK tornado and the 31 May 2013 El Reno, OK tornado. I wonder if NOAA would have this info. Take care and be well.😌👍💯
@@petermalanchuk8210 I appreciate you watching my video. The top of the cell for this storm was above 60,000ft. If you are interested in a lot of other prolific tornadic supercells, I would check out Convective Chronicles on TH-cam, he covers a lot of the more impactful and interesting storms that have occurred of the years.
Hi,@@JacobWithACamera and thank you kindly Jacob. Unless I'm wrong, it looks as though you drove towards and into near the base of the Supercell at 3:31; I was curious as to why this change of course. Anyway, please stay safe and be well!
@ I was fairly new to storm chasing at the time and my depth perception on storms like this and ability to read radar was a little bad, there was a report of a strong tornado that was behind the rain and I couldn’t see it, I decided to play it safe head away from the projected path of the tornado which was SE. In hindsight, I was perfectly safe and I would’ve been able to see an awesome sight shown in this video - th-cam.com/video/3gw8RZA_lZM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SvcykAdA1Z1GrzdO But it’s all okay, because I’ve seen plenty of nice storm structure since then.
@@sabrinaelected The best method for sights like that is traveling to the backside of these storm cells during sunset. If they’re not so large, you can even see the updrafts being backlit by sunlight.
1:32 I know you probably didn't chase ER, but would you say the meso of this storm was wider than El Reno's? Apparently, the widest supercell/meso on record is Superior, NE from June 22, 2003, measuring at least 6 or so miles. I've always wondered if this one took the throne
I was living in an apartment near the football stadium when this came through. What was weird was how it came directly from the north, literally straight south. I stood on my deck talking with my neighbors when it hit. Stood there till I realized there was a tornado less than a mile away. The winds were so string they knocked over multiple trees onto the roads in town. Some of the coolest photos I have are of the wall cloud and how bright blue the clouds were in between it and the storm.
This was the first time I had seen a storm moving that due south produce tornadoes (although I didn’t see any of them). The southern movement can be explained by the directions of the upper altitude winds, the winds were moving out of the NW because they were traversing a large high pressure ridge in the South Western United States. Though I don’t quite understand the the due south movement, it probably latched itself to the ground and just took off South.
That beautiful turqoise in the clouds, man I would love to see a super cell atleast once in my life, probably never gonna happen because I live in The Netherlands but I hope one day I can visit the US to see one
Super cell thunderstorms are mind blowing. I was born in the location of this video and grew up about 3 hours drive from this place. I have seen dozens of supercell storms and they are still just as amazing to this day. You can literally feel the energy in the atmosphere around one. Very pretty and sometimes terrifying. Have been caught in a few with no shelter, don’t recommend that.
Pillsbury Drive or US 177. This storm did produce a couple tornadoes, I think it did cause some home damage in Manhattan and other places, I’m not so sure about injuries though.

great idea!👍🏻 beautiful cloud catcher!😍
I live in park city, KS and I haven’t seen this beautiful of a storm sunset EVER, the hail clouds, sky, Mwa, perfect.

I remember this distinctly, we went on top of tuttle dam after it had passed and watched the sunset. It was a beautiful afternoon.

I’m not certain. It makes me wonder if mesocyclone size determines storm size or if the size of the storm determines the size of the mesocyclone.

The storm structure of supercells always reminds me of the structure of the huge cloud in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)
Great video Spink Man! 🤘🏻
This is incredible, nice work

@@jacobcarolan1172 abilene here
So so beautiful I see this when I come back from the day camp
Beautiful colored clouds at the end. 🙂
We'll done bro good created video 😊
São Imagens Espetaculares da Natureza
Saw those freaky looking bubble clouds in 1990 there and haven’t seen them since.
I did cable system rebuild and install back in about 1990, Salina and Manhatten. Don't have much use for the places.
the mammatus that day was unreal on the west side of the cell
It was probably the most beautiful mammatus display I’ve seen.
@@JacobWithACamera do you have an email or something cus I got some photos from the same cell I would like to show you
@@myria9644 You can send the images by email to my business email at jaspinkphotography@gmail.com
Wait why do I saw the black hole on the map here !?
That is the location of the WSR-88D Radar in Topeka, Kansas. The radar cannot scan anything close to its location because of the angle of its beam.
Bill Snyder Family Highway?
Most of my 68 yrs in Kansas. Have seen a number of doozies.
That one ranks up at the top. Hope it didn't hurt anyone!

A tornado form in my birthday?
It always freaks me out, when you folks drive on the wrong side of the road 🚗
I do not know what country you live in, but in the United States, vehicles travel on the right side of the roads/highways.
@@JacobWithACamera Australian ⬅
Most countries in the world drive on the right. You're only on the wrong side if you're facing oncoming traffic.
Mean super cell Storm going up in Kansas tornadic cell blast away from the mesocyclone
OMG
Looks like squall line
This was the rear flank downdraft gust front that was below the mesocyclone.
Disatro sono🙈🙈🙈
