Manure Tornadoes, Waterspouts, Folks Surviving In Funnels? Wild Stuff
Cars on Highway 395 near Star Island, Florida, encounter a tornado on May 12, 1997, as it touches down in Miami. (Photo by Kent F. Berg/The) Getty Images The recent 'Twisters' movie (2024), preceded by the original flick 'Twister' (1996) starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, has fascinated the public and inspired hundreds of regular folk to join the storm-chasing community. Some chasers are veterans who know what they're doing, like Reed Timmer, a meteorologist who has famously been chasing since the late 1990s, and Raychel Sanner of Tornado Titans. Others are amateurs cashing in on a fad. Sophisticated weather apps are now available to most anyone, and can be easily downloaded to any cellphone. There are even 'tornado tours' whereby the curious can join up to see one of nature's weirdest wonders - and pay significant bucks to do so. During my own chasing this past spring, I was lucky enough to witness half-a-dozen twisters. In the process, I gleaned a lot from the experts I chased with while spending time traveling thousands of miles with them by vehicle. One of the more interesting things I learned about is the strange behavior of tornadoes going back through history. Nelson Tucker, of the OTUS drone project (link below), mentioned a few while we chased together in the Midwest earlier this month. Below are five of the odder phenomena. Actor Glen Powell at the "Twisters" premiere in Westwood Regency Village Theatre, July 11, 2024, Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Michael Buckner/Variety via Getty Images) Variety via Getty Images (1) Manure Tornadoes: These are twisters which pick up dirt and animal feces as they churn across open farmland. As expected, the cones are often colored dark brown and have an odd smell. Some of the side effects are respiratory, including valley fever, and pink eye, for humans who come in contact with the menacing dust mixture. Other unlucky folks have been infected with flesh-eating bacteria from soil the tornadoes dig up from deep in the ground. Some have even died. The 2011 EF-5 monster twister that devastated Joplin, Missouri, killed five from such bacteria deposited into their wounds by the tornado. (2) It's Raining Fish: While waterspouts generally are not considered tornadoes unless they hit land, they can pick up fish, frogs and other marine wildlife and transport them great distances. If a spout does make land, the amphibious life forms sometimes drop over cities and open land as a tornado weakens - hence a strange barrage of frogs and fish found in land-locked areas. Every year, in Yoro, Honduras, for example, fish rain down on the city thought to have been sucked into waterspouts. In December 2021, folks in Texarkana, Texas, found fish of all sizes on the ground in their town after an intense storm. Various hypotheses have been offered up, but most point to waterspouts as the main reason. (3) Animals: Yes, like in the 'Twister' film, cows and other large farm animals are sometimes pulled into a tornado's funnel. Many, of course, are killed, though there have been cases of survivors. A 1915 tornado originating 16 miles from Great Bend, Kansas, reportedly picked up five horses in a barn and transported them unharmed a quarter-mile away. (4) People: It's not just animals who wind up in a tornado's cone, but humans, too. Many, like animals, are killed. Take the case of Discovery Channel chasers Tim Samaras and crew in the infamous 2013 El Reno wedge twister. But some folks miraculously survive. HEMMINGFORD, NE - MAY 28, 2006: Customers are ordered back to their van as skies darken during a Tempest Tours storm-chasing trip across the Great Plains. (Photos by) Getty Images In 2006, then-19-year-old Matt Suter was picked up in his mobile home by a Missouri tornado rated F-2 and deposited 1,307 feet away. It is a world record. Suter lived to tell the tale, though during most of his flight he was unconscious. In 1999, a baby was transported 100 feet by an Oklahoma tornado and survived. (5) Mail: It is not unusual for light debris to be carried long distances by big storms. The objects get caught in powerful tornadic updrafts which carry them thousands of feet into the air, then deposit them when the twister weakens. In 1991, for example, a tornado carried a personal check from Stockton, Kansas, to Winnetoon, Nebraska, 223 miles away.

Forecasters warn a rare derecho with hurricane-force winds could plow through part of the US
Damaging and potentially destructive thunderstorms are set to roar through the northern Plains on Monday, fueled by intense July heat and humidity. There's increasing concern that some of these storms could morph into a derecho – a long-lasting line of storms that delivers powerful damaging wind gusts consistently across a few hundred miles of land. Derechos are rare, typically occurring once or twice per year across the US, usually during the summer months in the Midwest and Mississippi–Ohio Valley corridor. As a result, there's a Level 4 of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms across parts of South Dakota and Minnesota Monday, according to the Storm Prediction Center. That heightened risk level is mainly due to the threat of gusts greater than 80 mph. The winds could be comparable to those found in a Category 1 hurricane, albeit in shorter bursts. Category 1 hurricanes have sustained winds of at least 74 mph and stronger gusts. A few tornadoes could also spin up inside the line of already dangerous storms. Parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota and Iowa surrounding the Level 4 area are under a level 3 of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms that could also bring damaging wind gusts, hail and even a tornado. A larger Level 2 of 5 risk extends across much of the northern Plains and parts of the Midwest Monday. The main threat is once again damaging wind, but isolated tornadoes or large hail cannot be ruled out. A few severe thunderstorms were already rumbling near the Montana-North Dakota border early Monday. Storms will continue to develop in the area throughout the morning and eventually track entirely into the Dakotas by the early afternoon. From there, storms will tap into plentiful heat and humidity and strengthen considerably. The potential derecho is expected to reach its peak strength sometime in the late afternoon or early evening in eastern South Dakota before tracking into Minnesota. The line of storms is expected to gradually lose its strength overnight before it reaches the Great Lakes. Monday's storms will be just the latest to hit the northern Plains. Over the weekend, a cluster of severe storms and tornadoes moved through the region, resulting in numerous wind and hail reports across eastern South Dakota, southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Three tornadoes were reported in rural areas. Golf ball-sized hail, downed trees and flash flooding were reported across the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in Minnesota. Saturated soils from weekend rain are also fueling a flash flooding risk Monday in the northern Plains, particularly across low-lying and urban zones. The Weather Prediction Center has identified a Level 2 of 4 risk of flooding rain across the region. The severe storm threat lessens to a Level 1 of 5 risk Tuesday as stormy weather shifts south and east into the central Plains and Great Lakes. Those storms will bring yet another chance for flooding, this time in the central Plains.
