Pikes Peak funnel cloud

This just happened a few minutes ago.  You can see the funnel cloud near Pikes Peak in Colorado. This is a high altitude funnel which rarely touches down. The funnel formed at the 11,000 feet level.  Last summer at Mt. Evans, Colorado, a tornado touched down at an altitude of 11,900 feet.
The record for the highest altitude tornado was at Sequoia National Park in California in 2004. The tornado touched down at an altitude of 12,000 feet.
