USA WETTER TORNADO
Supercell thunderstorm. Stormchaser photographing a tornadic supercell thunderstorm over rural Kansas, USA. A supercell thunderstorm is a severe long-lived storm within which the wind speed and direction changes with height. This produces a strong rotating updraft of warm air, known as a mesocyclone, and a separate downdraft of cold air. Tornadoes may form in the mesocyclone, in which case the storm is classified as a tornadic supercell thunderstorm. The storms also produce torrential rain and hail. This storm produced at least one tornado. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/JIM REED) === ===
