Video clip footage of the Campo tornado touchdown. Since I was filming directly into the sun, I couldn't focus correctly on the close-up so this is why it's blurry -- sorry -- a bit of bad filming on my part.
Beginning of Campo(CO) Tornado (approx. 6:03 MDT). Two towers went up around 12:15 pm approx. 7-10 miles west of Springfield. The southern tower merged w/ the dominant northern cell. The first funnel was at 2:03 pm which prompted a Tor Warning from NWS -- I tried to call Skywarn but had "No Service". For the next 4 hours it cont'd to produce funnels and ragged wall clouds, then around 5:50 the meso really tightened up south of Campo(Co) --- I stayed along side it until the funnel touched down at 6:03 pm then really strengthened into a classic stove-pipe. It was 500-600 yards away moving towards me (I had to move south 1/8 mile when it was 350 yards from me.
Feel free to check out our "Tornado" playlist showing video film footage of all types of tornadoes like elephant trunks, multiple-vortices, stovepipes, sidewinders and huge monster wedge tornadoes. Tornadoes from Aurora,NE ; Yazoo City, MS ; Campo,CO and Oberlin,KS for example. There's also video footage of tornado damage where buildings are blown completely off their foundations; people being rescued from collapsed buildings like in Yazoo City, MS where there was a deadly EF-4 tornado; truckers telling their near death experience when they jumped out of their semi-truck on I-80 and hide under a
bridge overpass during a large, violent tornado which blew their 18-wheel truck completely off the interstate; scary , heartpounding scenes as huge wedge tornadoes are coming directly at us; sounds of large tree limbs hitting our car and antennas being blown off our roof. These videos show the raw, unedited footage of storm chasing during the most dangerous and life-threatening times. Tornadoes are rated by the damage they do based on the operational Enhanced Fujita scale (EF) ranging from EF0 to EF5. An EF0 tornado has winds b/w 65-85 mph; an EF1 tornado 86-110 mph; EF2 tornado 111-135 mph; EF3 tornado 136-165; EF4 tornado 166-200; an EF5 tornado has winds over 200 mph. Note, these winds speeds refer to a 3 second gust. As stated before, tornadoes are rated by the damage they do -- so even if you had a violent, 2 mile wide monster wedge tornado in a remote area that didn't hit anything thus doing no damage (not even crop damage) -- it would be rated an EF0 (even if the wind speeds were measured by the Doppler on Wheels -- DOW -- at 275 mph). In general, tornadoes form when you have instability (moisture) -- measured by the CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy). Once you have adequate moisture,
you look for a lifting mechanism like cold fronts or drylines that will lift or force this moisture high up into the atmosphere. Then you look for wind shear -- i.e changes in wind direction w/ height. Tornado Alley refers to the area in the U.S. b/w the Rocky & Appalachian Mountains. To me, tornado alley refers to these states: Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, N. & S. Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, E Wyoming, E Colorado, W Minnesota. Dixie Alley refers to the lower MS Valley -- i.e Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and the upper Tennessee Valley -- i.e N Alabama & Georgia. Hoosier Alley refers to an area from S Michigan to S Indiana plus E Illinois to W Ohio.

Well formed funnel, do you know what it was rated at? Looks like it could be a decent sized F2 but I'm not too sure.
