The Evolution of a Tornado

The Evolution of a Tornado

In this super awesome photomontage we get to see the development of a tornado that developed north of Minneola, Kansas on May 24, 2016. The photo is a composite of 8 images shot in two strings. According to photographer Jason Weingart, this prolific supercell went on to create at least 12 tornadoes and at times had two and even three tornadoes on the ground at once.

This image was most recently awarded first place in the Wikimedia Commons 2018 Picture of the Year. The image was also a Jury’s Choice award winner in the 2017 Wiki Science Competition in the United States.
