May 31 2010 Campo Colorado tornado

I had a different version of this posted for a long time, but I wasn't happy with a couple things about it and deleted it. This is a higher-resolution (i.e., less compressed) version than what I had put on here originally.

Spectacular video! It's like a big Wang tornado. Are there many of those in Colorado? Cuz I plan on moving to Denver or Boulder in the next 5-6 years.

@MrNostalgiaX Thanks! Well, Eastern Colorado gets a fair amount of tornadoes, but they tend to be less violent than the OK, TX, KS varieties. Emphasis on the "tend".

@CosmycMayhem Thanks! I don't think I've seen any other video from that day that had a rainbow, but I believe anyone who got positioned west of the storm would also have seen a rainbow.

Can't believe the driver in the white van (11:40) drove down the road in the tornado's path. There's a fool born everyday. Seen my far share of tornado's and I know how fast they can develop.

Damn, I wish I could have seen this. Just beautiful

@tsangfore1 Thanks! It's simply my nature to keep my mouth shut most of the time, but I also believe there's nothing wrong with people having their own personalities. You do it your way and I'll do it my way.

Great to see your restraint in not yelling "Tornado on the ground!" "Major tornado here!" like in other videos. The silence is what makes this video stand out as unusually powerful and intensely beautiful.
