Jfc, I have never seen anything like this. Every time I have looked at the radar for the past 24+ hours this area has had a tornado warning.
Currently on vacation and just got woken up by this, that was fucking terrifying. I’ve felt smaller ones in OK plenty but this one just kept going.
Was driving back from Colorado to okc on Sunday and caught this storm starting at Monarch. Hail, lightning and snow simultaneously. Then came down on the front range and was incredibly beautiful.

I have family in Murfreesboro, they just told me it’s passed them but looks like it could be a really bad storm come out of it.
My wife saw the Weld County, CO tornado from the grocery store parking lot when it was a rope tornado, and texted me a picture. This is a pretty damn big tornado for us after just starting out as a rope tornado. Our news coverage has no idea what to do with this stuff - not sure I've watched a tornado on Denver television before.
