November 27th Central
Kansas
Today I
observed 4 tornadoes from Delavan, KS to near Junction City,
KS. The first was a beautiful high contrast rope tornado. As
the first tornado dissipated a new meso formed 1/4 mile form
my location. I followed this meso north
as it produced a single long tracked tornado. This tornado
traveled 21 miles in 37 minutes at an average speed of 37
mph. Surprisingly, this tornado remained weak throughout is
life cycle.

Tornado #1 Near Burdick, KS

Tornado #1 begins to ropeout as the new meso
and tornado form.

 

This image shows
tornado #2 near Latimer, KS as to was doing F1 damage to a farmstead.

Debris from a
barn flies through the air.


At times this
supercell looked similar to the May 17, 2000 Brady, NE supercell.

Vortices dance
harmlessly through and open field.

This
tornado had violent motion just above the surface, but for
some reason could not bring it down to the ground.
I believe that this was truly a weak long-tracked
tornado.
