Roger Hill’s cropped shot of the rope tornado near Brush, Colorado. Blurry due to driving on a bumpy road and trying to get west, closer to the storm at the time. Was barely able to get out of Brush to capture the tornado before it lifted.
Tornado near Brush, Colorado taken by Roger Hill. I was driving and not able to get a photo but Roger was able to get a quick shot before it lifted.
After the tornado, the storm held onto a wall cloud underneath the base and cycled a few more times but did not produce another tornado.
Lots of scud being pulled up into the base with a continued wall cloud southwest of Brush, Colorado.
Wall cloud took on an even more classic, blocky shape as we continued to watch in the same spot southwest of Brush, Colorado.
Another more wide angle shot of the storm and wall cloud just southwest of Brush, Colorado.
After leaving the storm near Brush, we blasted south to intercept another promising storm. Awesome merry-go-round wall cloud spinning away just to our east on this tornado warned storm just a mile north of Genoa, Colorado.
Looking south there was another wall cloud coming up quickly on the left. You can see the northern, more mature wall cloud on the right on this tornado warned storm.
The second wall cloud came up from the south and took on a similar shape as it matured just ahead of us on the road over the wind farm.
The storm eventually occluded the wall cloud/action area to the west of the rain core and held onto some good structure for a while.
Supercell starting to gust out and produce a shelf cloud north of Genoa, Colorado. Big wind maker with a lot of gustnadoes spinning up at this point.
Storm really gusting out hard now with interesting lowerings twisting and turning on the leading edge of the outflow. Gustnado can be seen on the far right. There were many at this point and we drove through one shortly after this shot to the delight of the guests!
