Abstract

The article presents a study on tropical cyclone (TC)–associated enhanced Fujita 3 (EF3) tornado in China. Topics discussed include the relationship between the condensation funnel, damage swath, and radar observations; TC tornadoes tend to be spawned from minisupercells in the right-front from their parent TC; and discusses the visual observations such as number of urban traffic surveillance videos of strong winds, and publicly available photographs.
