Socialism is the only path out of the global ecological crisis.
The image I’ve included is surface level radar (top left) to radar at 15000ft (bottom right) and is truly incredible. You almost never see such obvious and large scale cyclonic activity like this that is both so wide and so high up into the atmosphere. Wind speeds of over 200mph
rare that hook echo ever looks so crisp
It was strong enough that it produced an anticyclonic tornado, one of the strongest and widest anticyclonic tornadoes of all time as well
That's an impressive hook. I'm curious to see Storm-Relative Velocity data from that 15kft slice.
I used to have all kinds of weather nerd programs on my old PC, like GrlevelX etc. Radar apps for phones just aren't the same.
Truth continues to defy fiction, unfortunately at this moment we can just hope it doesn't hold true for The Day After Tomorrow
