While south of Bison, Kansas on May 25, I was filming a large rotating wall cloud. I turned around at 4:48 PM and saw a large landspout tornado.

  • That was definitely ...

    That was definitely a supercell. I was on the same storm. Had a surface boundary that multiple supercells developed along during the day. Thing had a very nice meso. That tornado formed just south a very large wall cloud (which is out of frame).

    Also, landspouts are technically tornadoes because they are in contact with the parent thunderstorm.

    Sorry, this wasn't a tornado. No supercell around. Tornadoes don't form in the conditions you spoke about. This was a landspout.

  • Excellent steady ...

    Excellent steady tripod-mounted video.

    This was a tornado.

    The dewpoint was too high at higher altitudes to form a condensation funnel.

    Had the humidity been a little higher, the funnel probably would have extended to cloud base.

    I'd rather see more funnel and less foreground. I would aim a little higher and frame with very little foregound in view.

    Thank you for posting your interesting well done video.

  • Landspouts look ...

    Landspouts look cooler than condensation funnels, it's easier to see the roatation and the centre of the vortex.
