Above is a shot from AccuWeather.com RadarPlus showing the hook echo over the location of the tornado (marked with an "X"). The really amazing thing about this supercell thunderstorm is (if you watch the movie) that it only lasted two hours. It formed at about 9:15 and dissipated by 11:15. This is rare for a tornadic supercell storm, and makes forecasting difficult.
A total of 7 tornado reports were received by the Storm Prediction Center yesterday. The southeastern-most red dot in the map above shows the location of the deadliest storm (also shown on the radar above).
