Support Not sure about if the trees are good or bad for the value of these images, but detail is better here. In the competing image the reliefs can barely be seen.--Pere prlpz (talk) 09:36, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Reason:
Nominating for the scope tornado because it better demonstrates a tornado by showing the connection with both the cloud and ground and has better lighting than the current valued image (for full disclosure, the current valued image is a FP and this image's FPC appears like it is going to fail). This is the current valued image. -- Ks0stm(T•C•G)
I added an approximate geocode based on comparing the scenery in the image to satellite photos of the area and the tornado's track...I doubt anyone could get the exact location due to the creator/uploader being inactive. If this estimated geocode is not suitable, feel free to remove it. Sorry I can't do better. Ks0stm(T•C•G)20:20, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for having geocoded the picture; this estimated geolocation can be kept, IMO. There is a lot of images and sub-categories in Category:Tornadoes, so reviewing it isn't so easy. An image showing how the tornado funnel is in contact with a cumulonimbus cloud could have been a good illustration too (e.g. File:Dszpics1.jpg or File:Occluded mesocyclone tornado5 - NOAA.jpg) because "for a vortex to be classified as a tornado, it must be in contact with both the ground and the cloud base" according to en:Tornado. But this documented and geocoded FP VIC is really impressive. I Support it due to its better quality, and considering that it depicts the phenomenon clearly enough. --Myrabella (talk) 23:17, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
