June 5, 2009 LaGrange, Wyoming Tornadic Supercell
Last Updated on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 14:14 Written by Roger Hill
Probably one of the most well documented tornadoes in history by Vortex II and The Weather Channel. We intercepted the entire life cycle of this gorgeous tornado and supercell from west of LaGrange till its dissipation well into Nebraska. This tornado was on the ground for nearly 30 minutes moving at speeds less than 30 mph.
