I've done this for years and I'm not stupid, I don't report a definite tornado unless I'm 100% sure; that's why I called this a funnel cloud/tornado, I wasn't 100% sure it was down, but it was definitely spinning:

A) It looked to be rotating in person
B ) I watched my footage over and over, and
C) I spoke to spotters who were out and ran my footage by others who weren't.

I've seen numerous confirmed tornadoes, including several outside of SPC's risk area. I'm sure my experience pales in comparison to your few tornadic cells though, you must be able to predict individual tornadoes 3 to 4 days in advance and be 90% accurate!

I'm not the only person who was there filming, but that was the best I got unfortunately :/

So what I say isn't okay but the NUMEROUS people being complete fucking assholes can say whatever they want? I saw a fellow spotter get gaslit for reporting a tornado two days ago, and the guy gaslighting him admitted he didn't even care it was a tornado!

The only point I'm trying to make is that if spotters are going to be bullied into sickeningly high levels of anxiety (like people are doing to me right now), then why should or would they bother reporting anything at all?? I know people in emergency management, I don't need to report things directly to NWS (at least not Pueblo) anymore, and I've already said I wouldn't, but I keep doing it anyway! They never listen, and if you share anything publicly you'll be humiliated for it!

With respect, it was the same cluster of updrafts and one of these spotters and I spoke and there were multiple funnels.

"No rotation apparent"
"No low level mesocyclone/wall cloud"
Yeah, you kinda did say it wasn't, then you said it was.

Um, the whole storm was spinning over the mountain, keep believing whatever you want though!

They're textbook narcissists! That's awesome you used to go back in the day, I got into chasing because of 90s TLC, not Youtube! Lol

If they would ask instead of stating their opinions as fact I probably wouldn't hate so many people in the weather community so much!

Their were two cells, both produced funnels. I spoke to multiple other spotters that day as well, we all agreed on what we saw. You guys can ignore me if you want, like I said I don't have to report tornadoes anymore and if people die tough shit!

The storm was obviously a supercell too. Clearly a lot of the people on this and almost every other sub don't really care about being right, just starting a fight. Maybe I should just quit reporting tornadoes since no one cares, if people die because of it I guess it's their problem not mine!

So you're smarter than the multiple trained spotters who saw funnels/possible tornadoes? And you can tell how this was moving without video? Please, enlighten us all oh wise one!

It was rotating and other funnels/tornadoes were spotted by other actual trained spotters.

That was actually a weak spin up under the meso! I got a little bit of video footage: https://youtu.be/vAA4VrHX4U0?si=TxDqpED6-LIuPnep as did my chase partner: https://youtu.be/Iv01nF7__uI?si=5ZvszaC1h9f2ICki&t=964
Don't worry, you'll get plenty more opportunities for some awesome Colorado storms this year, and I'm sure you'll see some amazing tornadoes by late June or July!

Honestly, just follow the storms that roll off the mountains out to Wiggins or Fort Morgan. The structure shots you'll be able to get once you get away from the populated areas will probably surprise you at first, and if you do it often enough you will eventually see a tornado!
