Julesburg CO supercell!

This has been the summer of the slight risk and 2% tornado for eastern CO and today was no exception. After farting around for awhile around DIA with a line of cells and nickel size hail I saw that a Tornado watch had been issued for the NE panhandle. Keeping my eyes up there, an interesting cell formed south of Kimbal, NE and began to show a flying eagle shape on radar.

I made my way north thru Prospect Valley and up to Roggin on I-76 when the storm began to show a couplet and things were getting interesting. Time to fly! I raced up I-76 and caught the beast with 75,000 feet high towers just west of Julesburg in time to report a large rotating wallcloud that was only a few feet off the ground and so wrapped in rain that if a tornado were back in there it would only be visible by the damage path after!
