"Tornado – Southeast of Silver City, July 31, 1979" by Carl Hawk
This captivating reproduction of Carl Hawk's original work showcases the dramatic scene of a tornado that struck southeast of Silver City, New Mexico, on July 31, 1979. The drawing vividly captures the dark, swirling funnel cloud amidst the rugged landscape, providing an authentic portrayal of the rare weather phenomenon in the region.
The Silver City tornado of July 31, 1979, stands out as a rare weather phenomenon in western New Mexico, an area not typically known for tornado activity due to its mountainous terrain. Tornadoes are far more common in the plains of eastern New Mexico, making this event particularly unusual. This tornado, which developed southeast of Silver City, gained attention due to its intensity and the striking visuals of a funnel cloud touching down in the rugged, scenic landscape.
