Oh, and I didn't call this one in to the Sterling NWS office. Their radar was down hard and I felt they had other things on their mind at the time. However if it had touched down (creating a tornado) I would have gladly dialed their number.

Stafford county funnel video
Here's the video of the funnel I witnessed this afternoon. (The funnel starts out in the left center of the frame.) This was taken just after I swung the chasemobile around from facing west to facing east after the rain free base had passed directly over my location. The funnel itself wasn't very far away, maybe a half mile or so. There was so much rotational movement going on that I was having trouble keeping track of everything...thank goodness for video! I would have had a better overall view had I backed off a ways, but I wanted to see the rain free base pass overhead. I figured I had enough visibility and road to get out of the way of any funnel that may touch down...
