- Tornadoes in Hurricane Harvey
In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey produced 52 tornadoes over a record-breaking seven consecutive days. A new study in WAF provides an event overview as well as a comparison of near-cell environments and radar attributes between tornadic and nontornadic warned cells highlighting the potential of improving warnings for tropical cyclone tornadoes.
