Holy Storming Batman!
Author: MikeI’ve lived in Colorado for 25 years and I have never seen a storm like the one that just passed through about an hour ago! The sound of the wind over powered my tv while playing a friendly game of worms with Kayla. The tree’s were almost at a 90 degree angle cause of the wind. The rain and hail was coming down so bad I couldn’t see past 1/36 mile. I just did the math on that and it’s about accurate! It even looked like the bottom of a tornado went down our street. The streets were flooded with both rain and hail. It was intense! What was cool about it was we saw the light of about 3 or 4 transformer explosions. The wind was blowing so hard that it was setting off car alarms. The hail probably also played a part in that as well. What a crazy night, and a bad one to not have a garage to put the car in. Luckily, the car appears to have no hail damage what so ever. Now it’s time to go to bed, since work comes early.
Till next time…

Dude.. was pretty nuts up here too. I had to have Amanda go out and spray the leaves that had been plastered to the house off. LOL The whole place up here was a wreck. Trees down, etc.. etc.. loved every second of it though.

Lol, it was the same down here. We didn’t get any tree’s knocked down, but saw some of the globes on top of the light poles go hauling bawls down the street. Looked like a tornado came ripping through here. I so wish another storm like that would come by again. I loved every second of it too.
