Situação potencialmente catastrófica nas Ilhas Marianas nas próximas 12-18 horas, com a chegada do Super Tufão Bavi, já com ventos médios superiores a 265km/h e rajadas da ordem dos 325km/h, com pressão mínima de 900mb ⚠

Há margem para fortalecimento após passar estas Ilhas, e, nos próximos 3\4 dias, na aproximação a Taiwan\China é possível que se torne o ciclone mais forte já registado na Terra, como temos vindo a dizer

Impressionante a imagem de satélite a esta hora...

I don’t know much about how tornadoes look on radars but what I do know is that 180kph winds is very strong. Can someone confirm if this is a tornado or not?

A mini-mega-thread for discussing severe outlooks, warnings, alerts, etc.

the didsbury EF-4 was one of the strongest and most photogenic tornado's in Canadian history. it ranks top 10 in the most powerful tornadoes in the country.

it holds a particular meteorologic record in Canada.. it lofted a 9-10 ton (9,000-10,000 kg) combine harvester 100 meters. it also effected approximately a dozen houses with 3 them being completely destroyed.

fortunately, this tornado killex zero people and only injured one. a woman was seeking shelter in her basement when the 600 meter wide tornado went by her house, the house collapsed ontop of her and caused some head and midsection injuries.

the unique appearance of this tornado not only made it look otherworldly.. it also made this twister appear bigger than it actually was. the tornado measured under 700 meters wide with 275 kilometer per hour winds.

the dust Field gave the tornado an appearance of that, of a multi mile wide beast due to the MASSIVE amount of dust that was picked up and thrown out of its windfield. the links below provide 2 different perspectives of the tornado.
