SPC Products from April 19th, 2000

[Joey Ketcham]

I'm looking for SPC products from April 19th, 2000. Since SPC archives doesn't go back that far, does anyone have any or know where I can find them? I'm specifically looking for like the outlooks for that day, weather watches and if possible the mesoscale discussions that were added.

Rob Dale sent me what I needed, thanks Rob!

I was chasing that day if you're interested in any pictures of the storm, and the tornado near Havana. We didn't follow it to Parsons after dark, however. If I remember right, the SPC issued a watch very early in the afternoon, the cap held all day, and then a supercell exploded in Osage County near sunset and produced a tornado about 15 minutes after it initiated.

Reed,

I would love to see the pictures you got of the tornado as it was near Havana. We were on the supercell that produced the tornado in Neosho County. The tornado formed just west of where we were on Highway 59 and we watched it for quite a long time, at least until it was completely dark and couldn't see it no more.

Here is a video clip of the first tornado from that storm.

I heard it produced a large tornado just after sunset...I'm assuming that's the tornado you saw. I haven't seen any pictures of that tornado, so if you have them online I'd be very interested in seeing them.

I'm currently expanding the chase logs section of tornadovideos.net back to 98...with radar/satellite imagery, stills, and more video..I'll let you know when I get the April 19, 2000 page completed.
