The video by some of the storm chasers reveals and enormous feeder system from the air next to the ground. This is the SECOND time such phenomena was noted. The tornadoes are changing. The size of the storms includes large radius from the central system.
The radius on the ground looks to be at least a half mile from the funnel. The storm chasers cannot allow themselves to be to close to the funnel cloud. They have been lucky this year so far.
There are significant winds over Hawaii driving high surf advisory.
