The Flagstaff NWS Office issued 3 tornado warnings yesterday, 28 (at last count) today.

Here is a video of some of the damage in   Bellemont, AZ   which is located just WNW of Flagstaff (in the mountains by the way, nearly 7,000' in elevation). Tornadoes were on the ground as early as 5:30 AM MST, with temps in the 40's & 50's. One of the tornadoes missed the Flagstaff NWS Forecast Office by only 1/4 of a mile.  In
