Taken in Colorado west of Denver along Mt. Evans Highway, which is the highest paved road in North America. These pics were taken at approximately 12,500 feet in elevation.

Cool pictures but i've seen photos of more scary looking ones. I thought highest meant biggest, but probably means another thing.

Maybe you thought she meant tallest. It's highest in altitude. Tornadoes are unusual in the mountains and usually not as powerful because of the terrain and thinner air.

No, highest as in the highest in altitude ever recorded in North America.
