Tornado at the Denver Airport

Imagine waiting for a flight and looking out the window...and seeing a tornado just outside the airport!  That was the case today at Denver Int'l Airport!  Thousands of people found shelter in bathrooms and other designated safe places in the airport while a tornado crossed some of the runways outside.  No major damage was reported, thankfully.

This link is to a video of the funnel before it touched down by the airport. 


And here's an image of storm reports from the NWS SPC showing the tornado report at the Denver Int'l Airport.  Before weather sensors went out as the tornado moved by they did measure a wind speed of 97 mph from the tornado!



And finally a link to all storm reports from the Storm Prediction Center...click here.
