06/23/07 REPORTS: Manitoba

[Reed Timmer]

Here is video of a very large, violent tornado we observed in southwest Manitoba earlier this evening. The tornado crossed Hwy 2 just east of Pipestone, MB. Notice at the end of the video how the single vortex splits into three separate suction vortices. This storm was rather high-based initially, but became a tornado-producing machine after it crossed a distinct east-west bdy.

Here is the link to the video:

We saw 3 different tornadoes from this cell over the 3+ hours we chased it. It was incredible.
