An aerial time-lapse video shows a tornado forming, Monday, June 7, in Firestone, Colorado.

The tornado was characterized as a landspout tornado, which grows from the ground up, as opposed to a traditional supercell tornado, which forms downward from a thunderstorm, reported local media.

Landspout tornadoes occur in areas where extremely moist air encounters extremely dry air.
