Storm Chases From 2010

On June 7th, 2010 at 7:22 MDT, a storm over Scottsbluff, NE began to rotate. We were so close, and the area of rotation so large, that it was difficult to fit it into the field of view:

Just two minutes later, a tornado touches down in Scottsbluff. Although the tornado is very difficult to see, several power flashes are visible. The tornado was rated EF-1. This video runs from 7:23-7:24 MDT:
40 minutes later, as we tracked the storm to Bridgeport, NE, it becomes the darkest storm I've ever seen. This is from 8:01-8:05 PM MDT, and sunset was at 8:25:
The next day, instead of storm chasing, we took a trip through Rocky Mountain National Park. A pileus cloud is seen at 6:20:
On June 11, we saw a storm with vertical (anticyclonic) and horizontal rotation 15 miles north of Strasburg, CO. We are on Headlight Road north of 112th Ave. This is from 4:57-4:59 MDT:
On July 22nd, we saw an intense storm with a well defined shelf cloud approaching Gorney Park in Caledonia, WI. This is from 8:01-8:04 PM CDT:
