Tornado of 31 May 2020 near Campo, Colorado (2)

A beautifully photogenic tornado that touched down ~3 miles south of Campo, in far south-eastern Colorado, around 18:09 local time on 31 May 2010. The tornado moved slowly southeast, crossing highway 287/385 around 8 miles south of Campo. The tornado was on the ground for 16 minutes and was rated EF2.

These photos are a revised set posted nearly 11 years after the event, showing the development and evolution of the tornado. Most were taken from the intersection of highway 287/385 and County Road F, but the latter 5 shots (no. 18 - 22) were taken further southeast along the highway. The tornado became partly rain-wrapped and lifted a mile or two east of the highway very near the Oklahoma border.

For more information about the event, see the summary by the NWS Pueblo Office here: www.weather.gov/pub/tornado31May2010_BacaCounty and this conference paper by Monteverdi et al. ams.confex.com/ams/pdfpapers/175862.pdf

(2) The condensation funnel broadens at the surface. The funnel was incredibly smooth and featureless all the way from cloud base to the ground at this early stage.
