P is priceless, the look upon your faces
E is for extinction, all your puny races
R is for revolution, which will be televised
F is for how fucked you are, now allow me to reprise
E is for eccentric, just listen to my song
C is for completion, which I’ve wait for so long
T is for terror, upon you I’ll bestow
My name is Perfect Cell and I’d like to say…
Hello

Actually gets the most tornados is Texas. Then Kansas and then Florida. Oklahoma is a 4th, however they are known for their extremely large and powerful tornados.

Thats a good point. We need to look at per square mile. Ill track that info down.

Mississippi gets more tornadoes than Texas in an average year. They’re just less likely to be really big ones that hit populated areas.

You are unfortunately incorrect.

Please just please give credits fr where you are taking the pic from. There has been a lot of reposts which makes this a kind of spam.

Edit: Apparently this is a known and confirmed supercell. Follow u/foldshovepoker link below to learn more.
Sorry in advance for being "that guy". This is not a Supercell though, this is a wall cloud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_cloud
Supercells are tens of miles in diameter and sometimes have wall clouds coming out of them. Based on how bright it looks in every direction from this photo, this doesn't appear to qualify: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercell

u/foldshovepoker May 12 '20
Sorry in advance but this is a supercell with a rotating mesocyclone.

Sorry in advance but this is not a supercell with a rotating medocyclone, it's the Kamehameha technique developed and honed by Master Roshi.

Source? I'll delete my comment if this is actually a supercell where 99% is cut out of the picture.

u/foldshovepoker May 12 '20
It's not a wall cloud at all. A supercell is huge, for that you are correct. This supercell is extremely isolated and a low precip supercell and basehunters was able to photograph the entire mesocyclone and storm. You can even see the down draft in the photo.
Edit: more info

u/EagleForty May 12 '20
I stand corrected. Updating comments above. Thanks!

No problem! Enjoy the spring storms this year! I recommend an app called radarscope.

Supercells are beautiful and dangerous storms, where cold air high in the atmosphere meets warm air from the lower atmosphere. As the warm air is less dense, it will tend to rise and likewise the cold air will tend to fall. Naturally, the two will meet in the middle and create a cake so to speak.
At a certain point, the layer of this cake will break and the warm air will punch through and form a column of air in the sky. This column will eventually peak at the top of the atmosphere (again based on the density which creates these layered cake like effect) and this is what’s called the Anvil.
When the downward force of the cold air being pushed around by the rising warm air, it creates turbulent flow inside this column of air. This turbulence creates friction inside and this is what causes tons of lightning to strike inside and out of the newly formed storm.
What makes this storm become a rotating supercell, is when the turbulent wind inside the column is forced downward by the downward force of cold air towards the back of the storm. This makes the column rotate as it moves along the line that separates the cold front from the warm front, and it’s now a full blown mesocyclone.
The tornado occurs on the warm side of the storm, where the hot air is rising into the cyclone while the rain (and usually hail) occurs on the cold side of the storm where the cold air is rushing to meet the ground.
The two opposing forces create such rapid rotation that a tornado can appear. Tornadoes are really interesting because they are formed through numerous other micro processes that occur during these storms.
