Tornado strikes the northern Colorado Front Range

Pictures taken by my drone not 20 minutes ago. I was scrolling through Facebook and heard the news about a tornado dropping near Firestone.

I ran downstairs, grabbed my drone and put it in the air to catch the tail end of the twister before it dissipated. Not the greatest pics but considering the distance of about 15 miles, not too bad.

As this happened so recently, I have no idea what damage was done or if anyone was injured. Certainly folks in the affected area are at the forefront of my mine right now.

The infamous Campo, Colorado tornado

October 14, 2014 by Tony Leave a Comment

The Campo, Colorado tornado on May 31, 2010 is one that few storm chasers saw but for those that were there it was incredible.

A storm system would drop six twisters in the same area that day, this the most impressive of them. It was on the ground for 25 minutes moving at a leisurely 10 mph allowing plenty of time to photograph the amazing phenomena as it tore through the ranchland.

This image was published in 5280 Magazine.
