Are horizontal vortices a particular sign of strength?

Memphis is in trouble. Baseball size hail on top of circulation

Yep, very indicative of a strong tornado. Usually see that with your EF4 and EF5 type tornadoes.

There’s some crazy videos of horizontal vortices from the Tuscaloosa tornado

TDS north of Anna, Indiana. This was the storm that went through Cape Girardeau.

Appears to me the bad cell immediately close to Memphis will miss to the north
The badass line behind it isn't missing anything

I still can’t believe that Brandon Copic video. That’s a once in a lifetime moment I’m sure.

It was a multiple vortex tornado. It has multiple vortices that rotate around the center rotation. Very indicative of a strong, violent tornado.
That’s what I was trying to ask. Fascinating and terrifying.

Do enough shite like that and it won't be a very long lifetime
I'm not trying to clutch pearls but shite like that gets even more
Killed bc then others try to get shots like that
Complicated issue

He was way too close, in a situation with training tornadic storms. He had two storms with observed tornadoes directly to his southwest. If he so much as just gets blown off the road and stuck he is fricked if he doesn't get picked up. Dumb move, but he got the shots.

Just look up 1997 Jarrell, Texas F5 "Dead Man Walking" tornado

Damage in Lake City, AR from the earlier large, violent tornado.

For anyone in the path of these storms headed into nightfall, these storms haven't been the best with radar presentation. We've had multiple tornadoes obaerved on storms that otherwise didn't look all that impressive on radar. Now that it is dark there will be less visual confirmation from chasers, and more reliance on radar. Don't take a chance with any of these storms tonight.

Link to video?

I definitely didn't think that tornado Brandon saw had enough horizontal motion to make me comfortable there. It was hard to tell if it was coming right at him until it got too close. If anyone chases storms, at minimum must be able to read velocity data well and have VERY good map awareness, which a lot of younger kids do not. They can't pick out every state oftentimes these days.

Here is probably the most intense part of his video.

Generally speaking, if you can't see the tornado moving......it is coming right at you.
