The jet shears the top of the supercells, forcing them to "stretch" out and drop tornadoes off the back... <br /><br />Makes me wonder though - at what level (how high) are some of these birds flying (or getting "caught") ???Brandon Holdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225665346907616226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560403933365907708.post-47710428135582816912014-04-23T19:31:50.479-07:002014-04-23T19:31:50.479-07:00check this: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/22/scie...check this: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/22/science/jet-stream-causing-tornado-outbreak.html?_r=0Nathan Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671833358759112518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560403933365907708.post-89352501941209516692014-04-23T19:30:04.172-07:002014-04-23T19:30:04.172-07:00Interesting, I wonder if it has anything to do wit...Interesting, I wonder if it has anything to do with the jet stream, since whenever big tornado outbreaks happen I believe the jet stream is usually present in those areas adding extra fuel to the fire. ALso, when tornado outbreaks occur, the jetstream is often further north allowing moist air to be pulled in from the Gulf, maybe it pulls birds with it and conveys rarities north to the northeast?
