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.
