On June 9, 2005, our expedition intercepted a HP supercell near Fowler KS.
We witnessed, from about 1/2 mile away the touchdown of a tornado which became quickly rain wrapped.
What was quite amazing about this tornado was the manner in which it lowered to the ground.
As it lowered, a circular link would develop beneath the visible funnel like a smoke ring, then fill in with tornado funnel as a new link developed below then filled in.
I am curious if any of you have ever seen anything like this during an intercept.
