Tornado Goes Straight Through Colorado Suburb!

  • Опубліковано 21 чер 2023
  • On June 22, 2023 a tornado went through the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch. Fortunately this tornado did minimal damage and nobody was hurt. I also was stopped at an underpass, which is probably the WORST place to stop for a tornado. Don't do that people.

    You literally captured the moment it touched down and went through my work building. We didn’t get any heads up or alerts until it was basically on us. It was wild being in it. The windows look to be 1” thick and they were vibrating like saran wrap in the wind

      @@hupo The smaller space of an underpass amplifies the wind speed of any passing tornado. Meaning you'll be more likely to get sucked out under it.
      If a tornado is barreling towards you and you are not able to outrun it, get out of the car and hide in a ditch, then lay as flat on the ground as possible.

      The large tornado, the day before in Akron, Colorado (filmed by Tony Laubach), had a satellite tornado spinning a half mile around the parent tornado under a huge collar cloud, and would have shredded cars like a cheese grater. It was on the ground for more than 40 minutes. Colorado can and does get big mesocyclone tornadoes, just not as many as Texas, fortunately.
