Tornado Moberly
Missouri July 4, 1995
One only needs to look at the tornado at
Moberly Missouri July 4, 1995 to see that July can pack a punch.
Storms produced tornadoes over northeastern Kansas and
northern Missouri on 4 July 1995. When 4th of July celebrations
began that morning no one in Moberly expected a tornado would make
this a day no one living there would be able to forget.
There were also tornadoes over northeastern Kansas and northern
Missouri on 4 July 1995. Here are a few tornado photos from some
that were there on that day.

Colorado
Tornado Riverside Reservoir July 21 2000
Tornado Tim while driving home towards Greeley Colorado using only his trained eyes
noticed this storm and its potential. Tim did not have any radar, thunderstorm warnings or
information about this storm beyond what he could see with his eyes. After chasing for
enough years you begin to recognize a thunderstorm’s potential. Weather data, Doppler
radar, and knowing the winds aloft are great for planning ahead, but when it comes down to
it, you need to be able to recognize a dangerous cloud with your eyes. Below is Tim’s
chase log as his ride home from work quickly changed from a normal ride home into a
tornado chase that he would never forget. CHASE LOG
Friday night, July 21st, about 4:50 pm. I noticed a
cloud north of Greeley Colorado that appeared to have the potential for producing a
tornado. Skeptical, I stopped at home, got on the internet and checked the Storm
Prediction Center predictions, then I looked at radar, and decided that my visual
observations were accurate.
