Tracking Tornadoes From The Air

On May 15, 2025 an F2 tornado went through the area of New Richmond, WI, causing damage to several farms. About a week later I got the chance to fly over the site with our friend Andy from@BerryWingLLC and @pilotman012. It was really interesting to see the path of the tornado from the air. We could tell exactly where it had passed, and there was a big difference in damage inside and outside the track of the twister.

I also came across some storm chasing footage from @scottmcnally, who was able to film the twister on its way through the New Richmond area. I've included some of Scott's footage, and you can find his video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHLki-wGJhQ and some of his photos at https://scottmcnallycreative.com/
