Ben, was this the day that the Wx. Channel got their big score? I'll bet it is. Our team was sitting and waiting at an abandoned gas station east of you, I think it was Sunol or Lodgepole. We waited for storms to work their way south. Anyhow, saw towers firing west, so we hauled butt west on 80, then northward. Saw gorgeous towers which were leaning over mightily, but didn't produce. I'll bet one of them became the storm that you've filmed here. Nice job! Joel in Tucson

Great job on the video, Ben. I really like being able to watch a video that isn't shaking and bobbing around!
It looked like that tormado was just standing still except for the clouds moving above it. Then it got fatter, then started getting skinny. At the end it looked like the earth just inhaled it back down to the ground and sucked the life of it! Don't ya love my technical terms!
