It's so cool that you can visualize the directional shear just from watching the typical cloud layers move past. Also... this seems like a tricky place to chase, not to mention all the corn. Good work!
Hey guys… Love the factual info about conditions WAY BEFORE storm activity forms…. Very insightful,this could actually save as many lives as warnings do..great job
yep, that was actually a supercell! The shelf looking feature was a wall cloud that day, and that little cone coming out on the right around the 4:56 mark was almost a tornado, very Pronounced funnel cloud
It’s so crazy that you can look at a normal fluffy cloud and then next you know it it’s thundering crazy that cloud happy as became a supercell and there’s tornadoes 🌪️
The Shenandoah Valley takes the brunt of the storms before they crest the Eastern side of the mountains a lot in our area of Northern Virginia, but sometimes and lately they restrengthen come down off the mountain.
Having lived here for years, I gotta say its mainly Central and Eastern WV that takes the brunt before it moves into the valley. The SV has slowly been driving into annual droughts because of this, and then they cross the blue ridge and EXPLODE. But, to your second point, they have been blowing up off the spine of the Appalachian mtns more frequently these past few years. This is actually one of our biggest points of research, and figuring this out for the future - and how to prepare for it. Because our zoning and terrains are not made for annual droughts and then, sudden, damaging storms.
I'm really interested in that too. I know when they form on the East side of the mountains and move in from the south and go NE they can be quite damaging. In particular, Aldie and Brambleton take hail more so than the parts of where I live near the Potomac River. Definitely would be interested in learning more.
@@SapphireGladeComics Orographic lift is something I feel like will have more of an impact as higher temps effect these areas, and im set on figuring out which regions are influenced the most. We really appreciate the comments and are glad to see more people taking notice, as awareness leads to preparedness as stronger storms impact this beautiful area.
Most likely. Thoughts on the rare Tornado Outbreak from last Wednesday or Tuesday? That was one of the rarest storms I've seen in LoCo that accelerated in MoCo.
Thank you!! We used multiple Nikon Coolpix, best Quality was taken with the L820. Another great view was from @Storm Chaser Jones, th-cam.com/video/51rlmg2B2RE/w-d-xo.html He was a bit farther south than us, looking back at what we were heading into.

It's an extremely difficult place to chase. Thank you for that, because we really do put in the work to warn people and document these storms!

Thank you so much! Had prime ability to be able to document all of this 8/7, was truly a special day.
wait- so that big cloud that looked a shelf could have turned into my worst nightmare😭

Got to say this video is the one of clearest I have seen. What type of video recorder where you using?
