A funnel cloud went vertical southwest of Hope, New Mexico for roughly 10 mins and showed ground circulation (shown in the end of this video). This video is fast-forwarded 400x and documents the whole life-cycle.

I Have The Luck Of The Irish When It Comes To Storm Chasing It Seems.

Sunday, June 2nd I boarded a flight out of Roswell bound for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I didn't return until today. During the first week of June mother nature unleashed several episodes of severe weather across Southeastern New Mexico and I of course was missing in action. I was attending a two week long company sponsored training class.

Tuesday, June 4th a Supercell thunderstorm dropped several funnel clouds and tornadoes south of Hope and northwest of Carlsbad. I have shared some of the Facebook and Twitter posts of this event via the photos above. My Twitter account is @KE5WLM.
