Very Interesting tornado

[Dennis Dennison]

Watch this one--Its very small, but powerful, and goes thru many changes. I have never seen such behavior, excellent study of low level action.

It seems like other videos of European tornadoes that I've seen are similar. They appear to be smaller/tighter with less parent storm organization and very low bases. Climatology or geography differences?

Watching it rope out what looked like at least twice, rebuild and all while in contact with the ground in apparently the same location was amazing. It looked like it didn't vary more than a few hundred feet in any particular direction the duration of the video.

Pretty nice tornado, but i know one thing...the dude needs a tripod!

 

[Adam Lucio]

Sweet video, Ive seen it before but I thought the location was somewhere else...Brazil perhaps? It was months ago so I cant even begin to remember.

Appears as a very tight, multi-vortex tornado with just an amazing display of horizontal wind shear surrounding the thing. Beautiful to watch!

 

[Jason Foster]

Nice display of the helical vortex (I thinks that's the name) on the outside of the main body of the tornado. It reminds me a lot of the Minnesota tornado captured from a news helicopter back in the mid/early 90s.

I recently saw another video of tornado from Greece. It could be the same one, but from a different angle.

Awesome video, but the tornado doesn't count about half the time

 

[Mike Hollingshead]

Slowest moving tornado ever. A person could crawl away or into that thing. I mean jeesh, just look how far it moved from beginning to end of the video.

 

[Dennis Sherrod]

As others have said, Strange it is so slow moving. Even I could maybe outrun that one.
But since I saw it, I am adding it to my total count.

Should we send the TIV overseas?

If I remember correctly, a lot of the tornadoes that occur in Europe happen in complex topography, such as valleys in Spain or Italy, leading to very complex low-level shear profiles...which accounts for the slow movement, low bases, and laxed necessity for storm organization. From the looks of the video, it looks like this tornado may be situated in a valley.

Greek Swearing??

Thought I heard swearing in Greek "Oh My &^%%*"!! At one point the shaky video camera got pointed upwards and I saw a funnel hanging out of the dark clouds above. Definitely a EF0 tornado in my books!!

Double Park It!!

Should we send the TIV overseas?

I think the TIV2 can be doubled parked inside the funnel and get a parking ticket while watching this slow poke crawl along!! LJK.
