Tornado in Laramie

We pulled into the Motel 6 parking lot to register, and there, across I-80, was a perfect funnel cloud heading for us.  We took some pictures, then jumped in the car and went east for about 15 miles into the  mountains.  After reports that the tornado had dissipated, we went back.  We learned later that the tornado was nine miles away from downtown Laramie.  I would have guessed about two miles.

Laramie, by the way, is one of the more liberal areas of Wyoming.  The University of Wyoming is located there, which explains it.

If you are in Kearny, Nebraska, be sure to visit the MONA.  That's the Museum of
Nebraska Art, and it is a very good one.
