Second North Platte “Spout”

2025-08-16 By Roger Edwards

Second North Platte "Spout"
The second of a series of nonmesocyclonic “landspout” tornadoes, from a big-based multicell thunderstorm that later evolved into a supercell, appeared a couple minutes after the first one dissipated, and slightly farther northwest.  This was a classic “spout” form, with a dust tube concentrated inside thinner dust centrifuged out of the vortex earlier.  A very thin, diffuse tube to the right (N) of the very visible spout, and beyind the lit truck, may have been another, very short-lived vortex, or a narrow rain shaft; it was too distant to call for sure.  Either way, it lasted less than a minute before a third more-certain spout appeared slightly farther rightward.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
