Ha Ha I;ve seen that like 1000 times!!
It's anticyclonic to!
Looks scary moster wege tornado.Perhaps something can form near florida in tropics.
hahaha! I'm still laughing about the look on those people's faces. That's not bad for a computer-generated tornado. I wonder if they made it anticyclonic on purpose or that happened on accident... ;)
OMG, they are so lucky!
Wondering if its in the southern hemisphere? Maybe that is why its anitcyclonic.
Does anyone remember the movie "Atomic Twister"
It's on cable sometimes, and I do believe that was anticyclonic. I figured that could be one way to detect a computer animated from the real thing.
What the heck are they "selling"? My Thai/Malay is not that good.
I love this video. I've seen it 1000 times too. I love how the last shingle falls into place, and how they run screaming out of the house at the beginning.
You know its been a slow past few weather days when stuff like this gets posted on the front page =P
LMAO so glad I get free wireless here in Minot, that is the most amusing part of my day :P
It makes you wonder why film producers can't make something this decent. Twister is ok but it just doesn't feel real enough.
I want a decent twister film!!
No kidding... Hilarious! Guys.. LMAO !!!
We do have a new named tropical storm in the east Pacific... Hernan.

attm.. does not appear to have a dangerous course "yet".. but its worth monitoring..
Was that footage shot from the TVN probe?
I remember this commercial, it was for an insurance company. It is around in english as well. The first part is saying this is the chance of it actually happening this way, so get insurance so you don't have to take the chances heh. Very clever commercial. They have others out, including one with a car that loses its wheel on the highway, bounces around and lands right back on the axle.
Look at the donut forming in the Pacific mates. Should have a distinctive eye and become a hurricane within 24 hours. Another cyclone possible forming on the westside of mainland MX.

Funny video..... I just took a look at SPC MD 2049 and it says that due to a surface low currently over the Orangeburg area of South Carolina associated with a trough along the Eastern Seaboard that essentially the Wilmington/Myrtle Beach/Florence, NC/SC metro area is now under a moderate risk for severe weather. Also a tornado tore through Trenton, NC earlier this evening causing trees to fall on several homes.
Oh, also, several computer models that forecast cyclone genesis forecast that low to detach from the front it's on and develop into TD 6 or 7 on Sunday.
Look at this tiny slight risk for Long Island.

I'm on Long Island and just had a storm pass through that was tornado warned, now they're saying just severe thunderstorm warning but are still saying it has a weak rotation and a tornado very slightly could occur.
We also had a water spout this afternoon.
Exciting day.

Now we're dealing with hail. Oh yay. :-/
I laughed out loud.
hey reed, what does it look like for this weekend in alberta...your thoughts? thx
Well now we have four possibles on the east Pacific
Are you guys doing blogs on severe weather anymore ? Its Hurricane brewing season mates
Look at this Pacific donut factory.

When in doubt, there's always the Tropical Discussion forum, covering North America, Australia and Asia. ;)
Heidi... Thanks.. Checked it out and with the workload its just not convenient and such. Really appreciate the latest news stuff that TVN posts "that is important" ... Really like your website and the knowledge and enthusiasm team TVN displays. " and humor too" :-)
Really surprised team TVN has not posted a blog about the actvity in the Pacific.. There is 3 possible cyclone developments, and a named hurricane. I won't post any more details her on this. Sorry for any off topic notations posted by JC.
Forecast Update
Valid: Fri 08 Aug 2008 16:00 to Sat 09 Aug 2008 06:00 UTC
Issued: Fri 08 Aug 2008 15:55
Forecaster: TUSCHY
SYNOPSIS
Please refer to the outlook issued at Thu 07 Aug 2008 14:53 UTC.
DISCUSSION
... Slovenia, W / N Croatia, W-Hungary and parts of N-Italy...
While writing this new update, numerous, intense supercells continue over NE-Italy, S-Slovenia and parts of Croatia, producing significant hail ( reports over 5cm already recieved), severe to damaging wind gusts and torrential rain. Those storms took profit of a near stationary frontal boundary and hence a continuous warm and humid inflow from the south, where dewpoints in the upper tens/ lower twenties exist. Hence a line of very organized supercells over NE-Italy and Slovenia was present for about 6h, moving slowly southwards! Latest radar trends indicate an increase in activity also over E-Croatia with numerous, discrete thunderstorms present and that's along the strongest instability axis, running over Croatia eastwards. 12Z soundings show enough shear for storm organisation and a very favorable instability dispersal in the hail growth zone, so the threat for significant hail continues during the next 1-2 hours. Severe wind gusts and an isolated tornado are still possible with those supercells. A decline in organisation should start as instability diminishes around sunset and we think that the more discrete storms start to cluster with a switch of the greatest severe risk from hail/wind to flash flooding.
Further to the west, the severe threat continues as the upper trough now finally swings in from the NW as latest WV loop indicates. Intense forcing will spread eastward over N-Italy during the next few hours and current radar trends over NE Italy confirm that, as numerous intense supercells developed over the NW coast of the Adriatic Sea. Those storms now move offshore over an area with extreme instability release and as they approach the coastal area of W-Croatia , LL shear should increase with SRH-1 values of more than 200 m^2/s^2. DLS of 20-25m/s and MLCAPE values near 2000 J/kg all point to a significant tornado/ very large hail and severe wind gust risk, especially over Istria. The main reason for not issuing a level-3 is the fact that storms already start to line up as the vorticity lobe races eastward and hence more discrete cell structure seems unlikely.
A large storm cluster should evolve with a movement to the E/NE. More isolated cells still contain a severe risk but the main threat will be flash flooding, not reflected in our risk sheme.

This was indeed the situation some hours ago. Pretty dangerous for the folks around there.
I was trying to view this video again and the link on the site says "this is no longer available" FYI.. Does anyone else see this prompt?
Also, anyone that wants some news updates on pacific storms.. clink on JC Surfs..
Reed, Matt, guys, chase the waterspouts on the Great Lakes tomorrow.
Live Stream from a Salmon charter boat.
DO IT! God hates a coward!
OMG thats hilarious! I have seen this over a million times though:P
