Document Title: Wyoming tornado, June 5, 2009 (DI01986)
Description: This image shows a tornado from a vantage point along Wyoming SH 151 in Goshen County, several miles east of La Grange. It was observed on June 5, 2009 during VORTEX2, the second field phase of the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment. VORTEX2 is designed to improve our understanding of tornado formation, which ultimately will better allow us to assess the likelihood of tornadoes in supercell thunderstorms and possibly tornado intensity, longevity, and cyclic behavior.
