Description

The beginnings of Monday's (May 20) disastrous tornado in Oklahoma were caught from space by a weather satellite in orbit. The GOES-13 satellite, which is operated by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), imaged the movement of storm systems in the south-central United States between May 19 and 20, including the storm that sparked a tornado in Moore, Okla., estimated to be an EF-4 in strength, on Monday at 2:56 p.m. CDT (3:56 p.m. EDT, or 1956 GMT). The tornado barreled through Moore, a city of about 55,000 people that lies within the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area, with winds that were likelybetween 166 and 200 mph (267 and 322 km/h), given its estimated strength, killing dozens and destroying property over a 20-mile-long (32 kilometers) stretch of land. The system that generated that twister can be seen toward the end of the tornado video footage, according to officials at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. storms at sea, storms best coast, storms caught on tape, storms documentary, storms enemy ac130 above, storms fleetwood mac, storms gathering, storms hedley, storms in africa enya, storms jose gonzalez, storms keep raging in my life, storms lyrics, storms matt sweeney and bonnie prince billy, storms never last, storms of life randy travis, storms person l, storms run out of rain gary allan, storms stevie nicks, storms tornado, storms underwater, storms videos, storms will rage in but you will be safe in my arms, song of storms xylophone, storms youtube, storms zagreb, song of storms 0 hours, storms 13th birthday, storms 2013, song of storms 3ds, shrine of storms 4-2, song of storms 5 minutes, song of storms 6 hole, song of storms 8 bit, song of storms space jam, storms spawned by, storms spawned game, storms spawned galleon, storms spawned lyrics, storms spawned meaning, storms spawned process, storms spawned synonym,
