Argentina-Brazil Tornadoes! TVN to deploy in the Southern Hemisphere... PDF Print E-mail

Given that right now is spring in the Southern Hemisphere, we are currently in the midst of the Argentina-Brazil tornado season, which will continue through about February.  As posted earlier, there have already been several tornado outbreaks down there already, and El Nino is only intensifying the South American tornado season.  Our plan is to head down to Argentina in late December into January for a few weeks, and see if we can pull off some successful storm chases down there.  We'll be uploading our videos to TVN immediately after the chases, and will even try to stream some live video...So stay tuned for updates!  In the meantime, here are some new South American tornado videos I found this morning because of my need for some tornado action during the off-season.  Notice how the clear-slot/RFD in these videos cuts into the meso from right to left before wrapping around the tornado cyclone in a clockwise direction.  This could get confusing!

Great news Reed!
Here a video of the other one in Idaiatuba (São Paulo), Brazil.
This tornado was classified as an EF-3 and it struck that city on April, 24 2005. Its damage estimates was approached $ 30 milions dollars.
I've searched out for that video, but I didn't find it. Then you can see it by visiting my profile "LucianoBrazil profile page" on section "My Videos" at tornadovideos.net

The videos from SA are great. All we needed was someone on Spanish or Portugese yelling "Back Up!"

Hey Reed, there are some rumors that this year is going to be THE year, that we are going to have extreme storms in december/januaniry, is anything related to what you said in your post about El Niño getting stronger? Because i heard before that it should be already getting smaller, but we are haveing severe storms every week here since september, in september it rained 80% more than the media.

and for you:
" Pra tras! "

+4 #6 camilabarg 2009-11-03 15:46 Hi Reed, I really enjoy the idea!
I think it's important for the area have storm chasers for close, even for the own safety!
I'm live in Santa Catarina(SC), Brazil, We have a lot of storms here! But we don't have resources for the coverage, who knows with storm chasers here that doesn't get better!
If you need a guide or something like that.. I am free!

That'd be a nice remedy to those Winter blues up here.

+1 #16 tornadouruguay 2009-11-05 13:08 I invite you to visit my country, Uruguay where we experienced between EF1 tornado intensities to EF4. Four of these tornado were studied by me, and I am analyzing my fifth study, with a tornado that occurred in the village of Cerro Chato on Friday 30 October at 1930 hours.
The same caused the deaths of an elderly person, as also muchisimos damage.
I heard from a friend that you would come in late December or January and stay for a week in Argentina, therefore, invite you to Uruguay (a few miles north of Buenos Aires) to discuss their experience and knowledge of the subject .
I hope to find merit in the proposal.
 
 
+1 #17 emolasleira 2009-11-06 13:37 Sr.Read is an honor to have you here. Here in Argentina there is no new technology can never predict tornadoes as those who have gone lately I live in cordoba and there was one at Monte Cristo wings unfortunately nobody could warn people. I hope that your visit to our country. is the best we have good weather and a whip hug. and thanks for having us in mind
