Funky Weather on 6-8-14 - Tornado in Fairplay

[Gman]

Looking pretty eerie out there. Weather radar is really lighting up and about half of the state is in a tornado watch.

If by batten down the hatches you mean go get lunch. Sure.

There was/is a tornado at Blackstone County Club which is like 3 miles from my place

[Irving]

Reports of a funnel cloud that never reached the ground about 7 miles east of Briggsdale.

[Gman]

The sky was lighter to the west after the first wave passed, but looks like we may get another round this afternoon.

We've been getting reverse 911 calls here in Park Co for about the last 1.5 hours. At least two tornado touchdowns in South Park with more funnel clouds sighted. Most have been in open ground but there's been some minor roof damage reported so far.

Nothing threatening here in Bailey but the temp right now is only 49 deg. Had a little wet snow falling when the last squall came through.

[HoneyBadger]

Tornado sirens went off at The Air Force Academy about 20 mins ago. Looks really nasty down by pueblo.

[TFOGGER]

Yeah, it ain't over folks...

Rain, thunder, a little chilly. Doesn't seem to be bothering who ever is up at the shooting range right now though. [AR15]

This weather has made me realize something.




I need to clean my gutters. Damn.

The wife went shopping at Southlands in Aurora today while I was at the car show in Loveland. She called to tell me her Jeep has hail damage, yep, just filed the claim. Must have been ugly around here, some good dents.

[stoner01]

Had a tornado touch down by southlands. Knocked over a construction trailer. Was hectic as shit for a while

[Half Live]

Once it stops raining here, I need to go and check my truck for hail damage too. I hope I don't got any. :(

[Bailey Guns]

Lots and lots of heavy rain and small hail up here. Temp is down to 35 deg. Snow on the deck in the morning?

[tmleadr03]

That is a pretty damn good pic.

[hollohas]

I agree, amazing pic. She's an amature photographer.

[Irving]

That's an awesome picture.

[Gman]

Great picture of a twister with altitude.

All I know is I was ~30 seconds ahead of 1/4" hail when riding in motorcycle from Florence to Penrose after church...
Followed right behind me

Saw "funnel- ettes" forming, but never turned into real funnel clouds...

Oh boy...glad you stayed ahead of it. Hail on a motorcycle is NOT fun.

[stoner01]

Shitty weather on a bike isn't fun

[Irving]

Saw that picture on Channel 2 news this morning.
