Jon Van de Grift and I were under each of those storms while tornado warned and cannot verify a single one of them. The closest thing to a tornado we saw was a funnel extending about halfway down from a wall cloud southeast of Franktown. Someone actually reported that as a tornado. We also drove beneath the main updraft of the storm which had a reported tornado 11 miles west of Limon. We were under that cell for about 20 minutes in which the warning was issued and the tornado "sighted". If it were there, we would've seen it (perfect views to west and south). I'm surprised with the number of tornado reports from these storms as Jon and I were on each tornado warned cell from Franktown to Kit Carson and didn't see a single one.
I will say that precip was extremely heavy and from Limon to southeast of Hugo, we were behind the main line, but as we moved southeast towards Aroya, our view of the base improved; still nothing.
Full report later including pics of the incredible shelf cloud, some hail accumulations, and local flooding in Lamar. We're currently in Fowler where I am using Sprint PCS to connect and catch up with the world today. Stopping for dinner in Pueblo before returning home.
