Couple of drone shots from yesterday’s action in eastern Colorado near Akron.

Saw plenty of other chasers out there as well - all enjoying the beauty of High Plains weather.

@Chasaru3 @a_dose_of_wx Congratulations!

[Will Bratton @willbrattonwx]

We’ve had 4 (yes, four) possible landspouts near Akron, Colorado following this cell.

Should have drone footage later and will try to confirm them.

It’s been trying to spit a tornado out but struggling to get one dominant updraft. #Wx

Hi @NWSCheyenne — is there any status update on your radar unit?

Thank ya lots, best of luck today🫡

Insane hail core parked right over Denver, likely dealing millions of dollars in damages. Live camera feed out of there is nuts. #cowx
