    Tornado in Hungary Video

     

     

    A tornado was observed by a storm-chasing team organised on a

    hungarian amateur meteorologist site called www.szupercella.hu. The non-profit

    site was founded by several young amateur and professional meteorologists to

    investigate the nature of the severe phenomena like supercells and tornados in

    Hungary. On the 20th of May, the site issued a severe weather forecast to the eastern

    part of the country and organised two storm-chasing team to catch the

    storms by car. They movement was controlled by  a coordinator (Polyánszky  "Meteorman" Zoltán) who provided the

    information about the position and propagation of the thunderstorms based on

    measurements and forecasts. One team, namely Inflow Band ( Veres "Skyshooter" Viktor,Molnár "Storman" Ákos,Hubay "Dzsibzon" Tamás) approached a severe

    rotating thunderstorm called supercell and they observed as the

    rotating funnel cloud reached the ground: a tornado formed. The team superbly

    recorded the event by camcorder and camera,as well as,the professional photographer

    of Blikk,the biggest daily newspaper in Hungary,also chased the

    storm with team.It was the best documentation of this type of

    phenomena in Hungary and this was the first storm-chasing event of the

    szupercella.hu launched three weeks ago.
