Boulder County Tornado
____________________
| On June 6, 1997, while working on the computer at Mike's house at around 2:15 pm, I heard the storm warning sirens go off. I went downstairs to take the dogs to the basement. Through the kitchen window, I glanced up and saw a diagonal black stripe in the western sky. I grabbed the video camera, and from the deck in Mike's backyard, caught the tail end of the tornado on film, just as it left the ground and drew back up into the clouds. I learned the next day that the tornado had hit a friend's house and caused a good amount of damage, but thankfully, nobody was injured. Check out the still photo or the quicktime movie Mike made of the footage of this storm by clicking on the thumbnails below. |
