To my up and coming followers, I’m back with another article review! This one is of a larger interest to me considering it’s tornado related and I just go bonkers for some funnel cloud! This study was done by a team at the NOAA/NWS/NCEP/Storm Prediction Center, in Norman Oklahoma in 2017 and I have to say that it is really… Read more →
