June 29th, 2005 Southwest Minnesota Tornadoes
Last Updated on Tuesday, 05 January 2010 00:19 Written by Roger Hill
The set up this day was conducive to supercells. A dryline/cold front would advance across far western Minnesota and provide the focal point for thunderstorm development. We started in west central Minnesota north of Marshall. Convection developed and went linear quickly. So we dropped south where the cap was stronger and caught a nice isolated supercell. This storm produced at least 2 tornadoes we could confirm. Check out the photos below.

Funnel forms. This supercell was a mear shadow of its former strength. The updraft exhibited intense mid level rotation.

Debris swirl on the ground below the funnel signifies tornadic activity.

Tornado intensifies as the debris cloud is pulled upward.

This is the point is was the strongest.
