Despite lasting for many hours from near the Texas/New Mexico border eastward across the Panhandle, and being sampled intensively by the armada of research vehicles from the V.O.R.T.EX. project, this big, powerful, imposing, awe-inspiring, sky-dominating “Dumas supercell” only could muster a few briefly tornadic circulations. Nonetheless, it became the subject of several storm-scale research studies for at least 5 years thereafter, and of lifetime memories for those storm observers who stood witness.
