The tornado occurred on May 4, 2003 and was rated as an F3 as it passed through Stockton, MO. Here are the radar images as the tornado was just passing through the town. (All images from the NWS SGF office http://www.crh.noaa.gov/sgf/Events/2003may...on_050403.shtml (http://www.crh.noaa.gov/sgf/Events/2003may4tornado/tor_cedar_dallas_stockton_050403.shtml))

Cannot find any pictures of the tornado on the SGF website, so I will try to come up with something elsewhere. :? [/url]

Oy...that took more effort than anticipated :P , but came up with some photos of the Stockton wedge on the College of DuPage's NEXLAB site. In addition to the pics, there is also an amazing vid clip of the tornado a few miles away.

Great monster really :wink:
Very nice hook! From tornado map it looks like that it was a very long track supercell....
