3-D Google Tornado Tracks from Super Outbreak
The National Weather Service's Southern Region HQ has released a Google Map and Google Earth KMZ file of the tornado tracks so far, based on their storm and aerial surveys, which I summarize in the graph below, as best as I can count from LSR reports (may disagree with map):
Additional Google Maps layers are available at this link. Here are a few 3-D screen shots of interest which I pulled from Google Earth (click to enlarge):
1. JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, ALL TORNADO TRACKS, LOOKING NORTHWEST:
2. TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA: IN BETWEEN TWO EF-4 TRACKS:
3. THE EF-5 TWISTER CROSSES THE RIVER IN DECATUR, ALABAMA:
WHO SAID TORNADOES CAN'T HAPPEN IN THE MOUNTAINS?
4. THE TORNADO SWARM EAST OF CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE:
5. CHEROKEE COUNTY, ALABAMA: AN EF-4 TRACKS THROUGH THE HILLS:
6. AN EF-4 TORNADO TRACKS OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF CATOOSA COUNTY, GEORGIA:
7. AN EF-3 TWISTER TRACKS THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS OF BLOUNT COUNTY, TENNESSEE:
