Charles Barthold
Charles Barthold was a news photographer for WHO-TV of Des Moines, Iowa, who won the 1976 Peabody Award for his film and photography of the Jordan Tornado in Jordan, Iowa.[1][2] The film he shot allowed famed University of Chicago meteorologist Ted Fujita to clearly see that one of the tornadoes was an anticyclonic tornado. The Barthold film was the first time that such a tornado had been captured on film and had independent documentation on the ground that the tornado was indeed anti-cyclonic. The film helped open up a branch of tornado study to determine how the anticyclonic vortex formed. The anti-cyclonic tornado was a F2. The main, cyclonic tornado was a F5.
He is not the same person that is listed below, although he shares the same name. He was Staff Editor and Editor-in-Chief of Yachting Magazine from 1987 to 1999, as well as contributing editorial copy and photographs.[3]
