Funnel cloud today!
Just snapped this from my back yard -- pretty interesting the way these things start to form. They are really quite beautiful....
This is around 144th and York in Thornton.

I'm sure glad they don't get a whole lot bigger like in Texas when I was growing up. Of course I suppose the people in Windsor feel quite a bit different. Excellent shot, Paul. Heads up DIA!

Way cool!
Certainly a different perspective on a funnel cloud.

That's a little closer to my house than I'd like to see. :eek: I knew that wall cloud looked suspicious as I was driving up from Denver, but I didn't see the funnel. Nice catch!

Scott,
Tell me about it :eek: I kept a close eye on it since it was right above my house.
