5/23/2021 Limon, Colorado — Bryce Kintigh

Published on May 23, 2021

Another day in Eastern Colorado, storms developed south of Limon and quickly moved northeast.

This severe storm was producing very large hail a few miles north of Limon, Colorado.

A brief tornado did occur just to the southwest of Akron, Colorado, but our vantage point made it nearly impossible to get a photograph of the brief white funnel. We were able to visually see it in the distance before rain obscured the view.

Golfball sized hail fell at our location 10 miles south of Stratton, Colorado.

Later in the day, we moved to an eastern target, closer to the Kansas/Colorado border. These storms did produce some photogenic opportunities, and we encountered Golfball sized hail.
