Mission Location: eastern WY SW of Scottsbluff
CAMA and CAMB collected stills and HD video on the tornadic storm sampled by the V2 armada. CAMA was collocated with DOW7 and CAMB was collocated with DOW6. Stills and HD video were collected at the sites listed below before tornadogenesis through its dissipation. We saw a singular vortex, no suction vortices, and some evidence of a debris cloud. The entire evolution of the tornado was documented by CAMA and CAMB. Additional photos of the storm after the tornado dissipated were collected showing nice wall cloud structure. Most of the photos taken by CAMA and CAMB were at the following deployment sites:
