May 21 - Gustnadoes, Microbursts, Hail, Lightning, and a Big Dusty Vortex - A trip to southeast Colorado (and eventually into the western Oklahoma Panhandle) yields a number of interesting features. One was a vortex reported as a landspout tornado near Pritchett, CO by a National Weather Service employee - but the vortex may actually have been a large gustnado. I also got pictures and video around Springfield, CO of other features that were definitely gustnadoes, of strong, dusty microbursts, and eventually of hail and an intense barrage of lightning in Boise City, OK
