[HD Video] Terry Delore Captures Interesting Funnel Cloud While Flying in the Wave in New Zealand

Terry Delore flying his ASH 25 Zulu Foxtrot with Yvonne Loader 29/4/12 in Haka valley over Ritchie McCaw country. Video taken at 12,000 feet, hook cloud develops quickly into a funnel cloud at cloud base, the cloud was spinning fast although the video quality does not show it. The funnel cloud was about 1000 ft deep with a serpent tail. Surface wind estimated 55-60 knots or stronger the wave lift above the tornado cloud was in excess of 2400 feet per minute for several thousand feet and silk smooth. The turbulence in the valley below cloud base would have been substantial.
