I'm addicted to radar images of tornadoes. The above image is a velocity radar loop of one of the tornadoes in North Carolina yesterday. This went very close to the Charlotte-Metro area! Can you spot the tornado? Bonus question... Can you spot the Rear Flank Downdraft?
Just for fun I loaded the radar data's .kmz file into Google Earth and loaded the 3D Buildings of Charlotte. This is some true weather candy...
I labeled the couplet in the above image, but in the below image you can see it a little better. At this point, the tornado may have lifted. I can't find the Public Information Statement from the NWS.
Anywho, I don't feel like typing much and I'm heading to bed. Enjoy the images.

That's fascinating how that the graphics blend in together and fabricate the storm events.
Next thing you know, we'll need
3D glasses :)
