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 (Polyánszky  "Meteorman" Zoltán) who provided the

information about the position and propagation of the thunderstorms based on

measurements and forecasts. One team, namely Inflow Band ( Veres "Skyshooter" Viktor,Molnár "Storman" Ákos,Hubay "Dzsibzon" Tamás) 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.
