Weather Flashback

Summary

Looking carefully toward the center of the scene, a tornado can be observed. The tornado was spawned by a long-lived, left-split supercell thunderstorm that propagated north and east from north central Texas through portions of south central and central Oklahoma. The tornado spun anticyclonic, traveled about five miles, and lasted about 10 to 15 minutes. The tornado moved through open-country, just west of Cornish and Ringling in Oklahoma. When I captured the tornado, it was in its dissipating stage; an elongated "tight rope".  However, this "left split circus" was far from over with. In addition to the "cyclostrophic spectacle",  this storm put on quite a show; featuring a wide variety of hydrometers, lightning flashes, and optical depths.
