Last Chance, Colorado tornadoes – June 10, 2010

Posted on 11. Jun, 2010 by Jesse in Uncategorized

I started this chase day sitting in Holyoke, Colorado watching mesoscale data.  When it became apparent that initiation was taking place in two locations, I and my chase partner Dr. Tom Williams, along with Corey Sloan and Steve Polley from Storm Chase Live, decided to intercept the cells that were developing just east of the Denver metro area.

We exited I-76 at Brush, CO and headed south on Highway 71, taking a county road west of Woodrow to intercept the first storm.  As that storm weakened and was overtaken by a dominant cell, we worked our way south to US 36 near Last Chance, CO.  The tornado was filmed just west of Last Chance looking southwest from US 36.
