5 July 2000 Haxtun, CO F-3 Tornadic storm


An incredible high Plains chase! Ian Wittmeyer, Ila Kolb, and myself drove to the Cheyenne Ridge and followed this storm from initiation to a full, devestating beast. Unfortunately, a strong F3 tornado destroyed parts of the small town of Haxtun, CO just 5 minutes after we departed the storm due to darkness.
