June 20, 2010 Chugwater, Wyoming Tornadoes
Last Updated on Monday, 15 November 2010 16:05 Written by Roger Hill
Amazing day! I wasn't quite expecting what we got. Early afternoon storms in the Laramie Range in southeast Wyoming created an outflow boundary for one last storm to ride down. The early storms were tornado warned, but produced nothing, and finally the last cell, ingesting cool, moist surface air, spun like a top and dropped two tornadoes, as well as hail nearly 5" in diameter! The largest tornado was on the ground for nearly 10 minutes.
The first tornado developing looking west (albiet there was a WEAK brief spinup a few minutes earlier that I am not including).
Closer shot of the developing tornado.
Touchdown southeast of Chugwater.
Nice elephant trunk tornado, with massive GIANT hail core to the north (right).

Second substantial tornado with debris cloud.
Wide shot of tornado, hail core and structure.
Massive hailstones to nearly 5" in diameter.
