Multiple Rounds of Severe and Tornadic Storms Hit Central United States

Over the last two weeks, multiple rounds of severe and tornadic storms marched across the Midwest and Southern United States. Several media and government organizations downloaded satellite videos (created by Dakota Smith) from the Satellite Library and used them in their coverage of the storms. The videos included CIRA GeoColor products. More details and urls can be found below. (POC: D. Smith, CIRA, dakota.smith@colostate.edu, S. Miller,Steven.Miller@colostate.edu) Funding: GOES-R.
