that's a funnel cloud, not a tornado, the NWS says that its a Tornado only when it touches the ground.

But that is friggin scary

It doesn't have to have a cloud touch the ground. Tornadoes can be completely invisible from cloud base to ground. It's condensation and what it picks up that gives it it's color. A tornado technically is a cloud just like the cirrus/cumulus/nimbus/alto/str ato family.

(And this summer I'm working for the NWS ;) )

I know that this truckstop is on the south side of I-70 but this tornado appears to be moving westerly. That seems wrong but maybe it's just me.

That's just... wow. Really amazing. I would have just exploded from fear.

And yes, that IS a tornado. It touched down.
