At 19:50 UTC on March 2nd 2012, a category EF4 tornado touched down in southern Indiana killing 5 people. 20 minutes prior, the VIIRS instrument captured images of the storm at 19:30. The VIAE I5 (375m) band, brightness temperature shows the v shape of the super cell and the cold overshoot developing in the hashed box just west of the coordinates for the 19:50 tornado. NOAA tornado data from day 03.02.2012(18:30 -23:55) was plotted over this image to show the number of tornadoes generated by this storm. |
