A tornado was observed by a storm-chasing team organised on a hungarian amateur

meteorologist site called www.szupercella.hu. The non-profit site was founded by

several young amateur and professional meteorologists to investigate the nature

of the severe phenomena like supercells and tornados in Hungary. On the 20th of

May, the site issued a severe weather forecast to the eastern part of the

country and organised two storm-chasing team to catch the storms by car. They

movement was controlled by a coordinator who provided the information about the

position and propagation of the thunderstorms based on measurements and

forecasts. One team, namely Inflow Band approached a severe rotating

thunderstorm called supercell and they observed as the rotating funnel cloud

reached the ground: a tornado formed. The team superbly recorded the event by

camcorder and camera,as well as,the professional photographer of Blikk,the biggest daily newspaper in Hungary,also chased the storm with team.It was the best documentation of this type of phenomena in

Hungary and this was the first storm-chasing event of the szupercella.hu

launched three weeks ago.
