Hey, wait a minute! I thought KANSAS was in tornado alley... Seems like Colorado has had more than us this year. Those are some SCARY looking photos. I have to say I would have been in the basement long before the tornado got so close - photo op or not! I'm not THAT crazy :eek:

Ah, this was just a little baby tornado, not much to get too worried about. Really cool to see though. Nothing like the big one that hit Manhattan a few months ago just down the road from you Angela. Was a lot different then my childhood days in Kansas. I remember when tornados came through pretty much everyone was running for the basements, and yesterday pretty much everyone was running outside to watch it.

Great captures. It looks like it was definitely a wild night in Douglas/Elbert Counties.
