Jerry's question makes me wonder if there are any compiled statistics on the frequency, intensity, and variety of tornadoes associated with LP, Classic, HP, and "hybrid" respectively. How does the likelier event of a rain-wrapped tornado with an HP effect the tornado's shape (width etc.), duration (shorter?), and strength? Have long-tracked tornadoes generally been from classic Supercells? What are the exceptions and why? Does the amount of cycling vary by supercell type as well? Do you make decisions based on the likelihood of a storm getting its act back together with a new circulation after occlusion depending on the supercell type? Have you noticed that certain supercell types tend to more often have satellite tornados than others? What about gustanadoes, land-spouts, straight-line winds etc? Cyclonic vs. anti-cyclonic? Maybe most of these things have no relation whatsoever, but if they do, it would be great to know. I'm interested to hear about both the gathered data and anecdotal experiences.
