I placed the tornado? NWS meteorologists estimated touchdown between 9PM and 9:10PM EDT. These NEXRAD images are from 9:10:38 PM EDT,
probably after touchdown. Because the storm continued to move to the SE the tornado would be WEST of where you would expect it
to be relative to the mesocyclone. Another possibility is that the tilt of the storm means the mesocyclone is east of the surface position
of the tornado. Remember you are looking at the storm about 2,100 ft. above ground level (ignoring earth curvature and refraction
of the radar beam by the atmosphere), so a tilting storm means the mesocyclone will not be above where the tornado touches down.
