Hot Towers over Alabama

Got this from Dr Masters blog.

TRMM Precip Radar during the outbreak on Wednesday 4/27.

Incredible supercell tops.  Only see this in TCs when they ramp up to a major.





Still frame from an animation showing the height and extent of the rain columns associated with the thunderstorms that spawned Wednesday's tornadoes.
This data, taken from NASA's TRMM satellite, showed that some of these violent storms reached incredible heights of almost 10.6 miles (17 km.)
