Tipping Vorticity Transitioning Into Tornado

[Mike Smith]

Hi Everyone,

Over a four minute period last Friday evening (April 29), I captured a series of photos that appears to show vorticity near the surface tipping up and transitioning into a tornado.

This is amazing. It great that even to this day, we are still capturing wx phenomena in photos or videos that we have not seen or witnessed before, even though we theorized such things are likely there!

Nice sequence Mike. Seeing more and more photos and video that align with Dr. Leigh Orf's simulations and the theory that many or even most tornadoes originate ground up to cloud, or all at once as a single rotating column between them.
