A bright, greeny–white splotch in the centre of the image is the nucleus and coma of comet 3I/ATLAS. To the upper right streams the major dust tail. The background comprises distant stars against a black background, with the NGC 4691 galaxy at upper left.

This is an incredible image of comet 3I/ATLAS, taken by Satoru Murata ICQ Comet Observations group on 16 November 2025 from western New Mexico.

Structure within the major dust tail from the comet is clearly visible, together with two smaller jets trailing the nucleus and maybe even an anti-tail.

The tornado killed 27 people, including around a dozen children. There is debate surrounding the degree of damage, as it may have been exacerbated by the F5'a slow speed.

The parent supercell (which moved SW) produced numerous other damaging tornadoes, including an F3 and F4 near Austin.

May 27th, 1997:

An F5 produced some of the most extreme tornadic damage ever seen. The incredibly violent wedge slammed the Double Creek Estates subdivision of Jarrell, TX. Much of the neighborhood was obliterated with little debris & deep ground scouring left behind.

Today is the 60th Anniversary of the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak.

One of the worst tornado outbreaks in US history struck the Great Lakes region. Nearly four dozen tornadoes, 17 of which were rated F4.

April 3-4th, 1974:
A “Super-Outbreak” of tornadoes ravaged the Midwest and the eastern U.S. Severe thunderstorms spawned 148 tornadoes from Alabama to Michigan, most occurring between 1 PM (CST) on the 3rd and 1 AM on the 4th. The tornadoes killed 315 people and injured 5300 others.

March 18th, 1925:

The worst tornado in American history slammed Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. Dubbed the "Tri-State Tornado," the estimated F5 had a path length of over 215 miles, was on the ground for ~3.5 hours, and had an estimated forward speed of over 60 mph.
