New Pinned Yo! I'm Alex! I am a sky photographer and digital artist! I photograph the Desert Southwest and the Monsoon, and for now I paint tornadoes until I can chase the plains! Here's some of my weather art:

How does the indoor tornado work? I have a box fan aimed at a curved wall of blankets to provide broad rotation. Under the red sheet is a tube connected to my fog machine, which makes the vortex visible. A ceiling fan set to max, in reverse, provides an updraft.

I'll always stand on the opinion that the Philadelphia MS tornado of 2011 was likely one of the strongest in history at it's peak. With a core diameter of less than 100m and a forward speed of 100km/h, it scoured two-foot deep trenches. A bulldozer would take days to do that.

another crazy clip is this sequence as it crosses the dirt road. Rips half a tree off, drags it 50ft along the ground, Ingests the trunk into the vortex core, LAUNCHES IT about 50 feet into the air, and fully debarks the part that made contact with the vortex core mid-flight.

Considering it's relatively small core diameter, and its rapid forward speed, it likely managed to carve that trench in perhaps less than 2 seconds. That requires unbelievable wind velocities, likely way higher than 300mph. I can't even imagine what it'd do to a structure.
