Rope Out, 2011

Gallery Artist Mitch Dobrowner's photograph "Rope Out" is featured in the article from Scientific American Watch Out: Tornado Alley Is Migrating Eastward. The image is of a twister formed by a super cell storm as it begins to dissipate and has a skinny, snake-like appearance.

The article explains that the reason we are seeing more twisters forming east from what has traditionally been considered tornado alley is because "climate change is generating warmer, moister air," which destabilizes the atmoshpere and creates conditions in which super cell storms can form. Read the full article here to learn why these storms are more fatal than historical twisters.

Dobrowner is known for his photographs of storms across the United States. Read more about his work on his Artist's Page.
