"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Despite how it looked in the movie "Twister", I don't think anyone on foot can really "outrun" a tornado that's that close if it's coming your way.
I had no idea they could happen at that elevation. My son freaks out at the thought of tornadoes so we've always told him they can't happen in the mountains (knowing they can but are just rare enough that he doesn't need to worry) and that he's safe - I'm not going to tell him about this one! :scared:

South Park I can see, its a wide open flat area, even if it is near 10000 ft. But in the mountains near Mt. Evans? I think that is rare and I demand an explanation!
