The following is a brief Doppler Radar review from KTWX (the Topeka NWS Radar) of the parent supercell thunderstorm that produced the Chapman tornado. The images on the left show the reflectivity and Storm Relative Motion (SRM) before the tornado moved through Chapman, and the images on the right are the same radar images a couple of minutes after the tornado moved through Chapman. Note the high (purple) reflectivities in the 'hook' after the tornado moved through Chapman. This is debris that the radar was able to detect, a few thousand feet in the air.
