This did go on land and cause damage, so it was indeed a tornado.

Tornadoes are born from severe convective activity such as a supercell thunderstorm or a squall line. It doesn't necessarily matter if it's over water or on land, it's a tornado. A true waterspout doesn't need a severe thunderstorm as a generator. All it needs is a good fair weather cumulus cloud or a shower over warm ocean waters and proper wind conditions to get it spinning up. However, if a waterspout makes landfall, it can do some damage. Mainly EF0 damage, but no more than EF1.

Gorgeous tube, good video. Thanks!

[PsychoArsonX]

awesome tornado video, you know about the pine lake tornado in canada, i was camping there when that happened, i was filming it but i dropped my camera in the panic and never saw it again

[burkedevlin67]

I grew up near 11-Mile and Colorado NEVER had tornadoes. Thanks for getting this oddball on film.

This IS amazing when you think about where it formed. Eleven Mile Reservoir has an elevation of about 8600 ft above sea level and near mountains which normally disrupt tornadic storms. Looks like a land (then water) spout, great stuff!!!

[plasticmanandy]

Thank you!

This event was actually the opposite- water then land. The view from the shot location is about 100'+ above the water, so we're actually above the reservoir. It lasted about 30-45 minutes based upon our picture and footage timestamps. I think the last few minutes it hit land and did a bunch of damage to some campers/campsites.

Pretty rare and very cool. Although it's the same principal as what happens on the plains. An air mass get's lifted to 10-14k feet then dropped down a slope to the plains, or in this case a "park", and gets mixed with air masses that have a different density and direction which leads to the occasional huge/twisting thermal updraft.

Looks a lot bigger and scarier with the mountains right there to compare the size.

[hole4hand]

That was Great Footage Thanks Man!

U can see the rotation in the clouds

very very good!
