Dusty Tornado and Dark Cloud in New Mexico Plains ジグソーパズル

A tornado beneath the ominous dark cloud base of a low precipitation (LP) supercell churns up a massive dust cloud as it crosses rural farmland in the plains of eastern New Mexico. This particular tornado, rated an EF-1, occurred near the small town of Floyd in May 2025. The tornado traveled over 5 miles in 17 minutes, leaving behind a trail of mangled utility poles. Fortunately no significant structures were in its path, limiting the amount of damage that resulted. Every summer severe thunderstorms like this one spawn hundreds of tornadoes across the Great Plains. Copyright 2025 Tom Schwabel, All Rights Reserved.
