The title has two meanings, the first being that I rediscovered this experience from over thirteen years ago. As the Bradshaw tornado pulled away northward, the last in a chain of closely spaced, tornadic, dryline supercells came into fuller view, with its classical rear-flank convective and gust-frontal structure. The scene at this stage looked strikingly like one from a classic NSSL slide of the Alfalfa, OK tornado on 22 May 1981, which I long had admired for its combination of tornado and textbook context. Now I finally was seeing a great match, in person—a most powerful kind of rediscovery. The tornado dressed itself entirely in a skirt of dirt from several fields, and would retreat into a distant, poor-contrast demise. Meanwhile, I headed east then north out of York, to catch back up to the same supercell’s next and final tornadic cycle: a “Nebraska Corn Shredder“.
