CT Rain Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Likewise with any major historical tornado (Tri-State, et al). It's just so hard to know if it was continuous because settlements were more sparse, and observations/accounts are limited to towns. Given the track of the cell (to the SE) and the fact it dropped a tor nearly to the Sound you can easily envision the setup which is pretty cool. NW flow event with an EML probably? No doppler radar back then, sadly lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Exciting new BDL tornado information! I tracked down 2 papers on the BDL tornado. They're conference preprints from 1980 and I had our summer weather intern who goes to Penn State track it down at the library. He scanned in both papers and the links are below. Pretty interesting stuff. The first one is definitely the best... http://tylersweather.com/misc/Hales_TheWindsorLocksTornado.pdf http://tylersweather.com/misc/MogilCampbell_TheWindsorLocksTornado.pdf Enjoy!

It's as if the tstm was the low itself...mesocyclone..meso low. That was an awesome take. That was such a localized event with pressure falls aiding in shear and likely localized CAPE too.

joey2002 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just curious, does anyone know how much thunder/lightning was with the storm that produced an F4 tornado? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
