MAY 23, 2022 TEXAS: THE MORTON EF-2 TORNADO


Supercell storms starting to fire near Dora, New Mexico. Could tell right away these storms were going to be significant.

Heavy rain and hail core on the storm as it intensifies as we crossed the border back into west Texas.

Storm taking on some great structure near Morton, Texas. Intense inflow winds at 50 mph pulling in a ton of west Texas red dirt into the updraft! We saw power poles being blown over INTO the storm.

Another shot of the structure as the storm approached us. Dirt completely obscuring the base.

Wall cloud very low to the ground and twisting away as the tornado was about to drop.

Farmer casually working the field as the wall cloud approached. Very dangerous at this point and was surprised he continued to work as a tornado was imminent.

Incredible large tornado near Morton, Texas! Tornado was rated EF-2 and would have likely been stronger if it would have hit anything other than open fields.

Absolutely awesome structure with the mile wide tornado underneath.

Love this shot of the tornado and the lightning!

Obligatory tornado selfie.

After the tornado, the storm continued to exhibit great structure near Whiteface, Texas.

Likely another tornado in there on the storm between Whiteface and Levelland, Texas.

Can pick out here what would be the likely left and right side of another wedge tornado.

Incredible mothership structure as the storm was moving over Levelland, Texas!

Really enjoyed the nighttime lightning and structure as we gazed on near Levelland, Texas.
