QUOTES:
"What do you think of that small, narrow echo in Falls County (the one with
the yellow circle around it)? Does is look like it might be able to produce
a tornado? Well, the atmosphere never ceases to amaze, and something
happened in Falls County late Monday afternoon that has severe storm
researchers buzzing!

Bill Purcell, a storm chaser from Houston, spent two hours watching a
towering cloud that ultimately produced a tornado, the same system that you
see in the radar image.

What makes the Falls County tornado so unusual is the cloud that produced
it. Tornadoes are almost always produced by thunderstorms, or by towering
cumulus clouds that are about to become thunderstorms. Bill told me that
in the two hours that he spent watching this cloud, he never saw any
lightning, never heard any thunder. Yet, the cloud very clearly has all of
the structure normally associated with a supercell thunderstorm."
