-level processes influencing tornadogenesis in QLCSs remains an important area of research. As in the case of supercellular tornadoes, QLCS tornadogenesis appears to be directly related to the presence of a low-level mesovortex. Atkins et al. (2004 , 2005 ) found all tornadoes in two damaging Midwest derechos to be associated with low-level mesovortices. These mesovortices were stronger, deeper, and lasted twice as long as nontornadic mesovortices; this is an intriguing finding, as supercellular mesocyclones
