Topic: SA cold-air tornado 14th July 2010

[teckert]

Only just heard about this event, from a Ch 10 employee here in Adelaide, who received mobile phone footage of the tornado from a Two Wells resident. Path was mainly through farmland although one house had its roof removed and trees decimated. Two Wells is a market garden township just outside the main Adelaide metro area near the Buckland Park radar site.
Here is the footage:
14072010016.mp4

Will post up any further details when I get them.
I'd particularly like to know the time to check radar.

Thanks Tim. It's worth looking at the doppler images too as a circulation can be seen at the same time.

Have also attached the Adelaide sounding which is very representative of conditions at the time.
