On Monday, BNVN Weather Paparazzi Eric Treece was chasing one of the several tornadoes that formed in eastern Colorado along Highway 71 south of Brush, CO.
In the footage, Eric is standing underneath a rope tornado that is less than a quarter mile away from him on the ground and rises up and extends over him as it goes up to the cloud base. The video pans back to the ground and back up to the cloud base to show how large and how long the tornado actual is.
As you watch this footage, note that the tornado from the clouds does extend to the ground but there is rotation on the ground. The condensation funnel of the tornado is invisible until it touches the ground and throws debris into the air.

Justin King was out in near zero visibility rain and high wind in Eaton Colorado on Monday. The rain was blowing across access road so hard, on highway 85 that cars stopped until it was safe to continue driving. Minor street flooding was also occurring due to over six inches of rain that fell over the area.
Today Tony Laubach caught this damaging tornado that touched down in eastern Colorado that shows a tornado destroying several outbuildings in the Nine Mile Corner area approximately 10 miles south of Brush, Colorado in Morgan County, Colorado.

Slow moving monsoon thunderstorms develop across the Colorado front range dumping excessive rainfall as well as small (pea to marble) hail. One storm formed over the northwest suburbs of Denver with over an inch of rain falling in less than 1 hour.

It follows up with shots of pea-to-marble size hail falling with flooding developing along 80th Avenue just west of Sheridan (CO-95). Rest of video includes vehicles driving through flood waters along 80th Avenue post-storm.

Hundreds of strange objects are floating over Iowa this weekend as the National Hot Air Balloon Classic is taking place in Indianola Iowa.
BNVN Weather Paparazzi Brandon Sullivan is covering the event and shot some amazing footage of multiple pilots preparing their balloons for inflation on the flight field and numerous balloons being inflated and one balloon is already in the air.
The footage then shows balloons fully inflated and upright waiting to take off while a few balloons are already in flight in the background.
Brandon then takes flight and shows what the ride was like from INSIDE the basket of a balloon as it ascends over the field. You can see a very large crowd, and a large amount of balloons still left to launch.
The footage continues from inside the basket as the balloon continues its climb and shows a very wide view from nearly 1500 feet, this shot shows all of the huge crowd and the other balloons.
The pilot of this flight was Spencer Conlin, one of the youngest pilots at the national competition. The shot encompasses the balloons in the background, showing the beauty of the competition, but you can see the determination in his face as well.
As the video ends, it shows all of the balloons from a very wide angle as they have all taken off then ends from the ground, of a balloon slowly landing over the hill. As it moves across the shot, another balloon comes into view from behind.
