Long drive north from Little Rock until Bell City, Missouri, where a massive rotating supercell storm approaches
from the Mark Twain national forest jungle. We position ourselves at a loction spot with surpising nice view
thanks to the Mississippi river plain. The approaching storm is one of its kind! The low canon thunder vibration
somewhere deep in that monster cloud, the rotation, the shear of the wind seen in the sky, these are the moment
we love so much, and why we drive hundreds of miles: The cell produces a tornado only minutes after this time lapse, and crazy enough, three hours later, another storm produces a second tornado right here in Bell City. We got that one a little better than the first one, seem to be a little rusty after a years long break:  Video of entire life cycle with wall cloud, funnel and touchdown, and roping out: |
