[Part 2 of 3] The second of three quick-succession tornadoes produced by this warm-frontal supercell started three minutes after the demise of the first, in the same mesocyclone, but with an obvious gap in space and time. Here shown at its most robust, mature stage, it exhibited evidence of vortex sheathing (inner and outer vortex tubes). The low cloud base made these tornadoes look bigger than they were. On the other hand, tornadoes usually extend beyond their visual condensation funnels, based on width comparisons of tornadoes sampled by mobile radars to geometrically analyzed photos of them.
