Rope tornado touches down near Simla Colorado

After driving through this tornado warned storm, our storm chasing team pulled over to get a better look at the storm behind us and we were lucky enough to see another tornado touchdown from this super cell. I liked this scene because you can clearly distinguish the rain curtain before it wrapped the tornado.
