Severe weather - tornado

[buffalobo]

Hope none of our folks sustained damage.

I have been to a few members homes in Highlands Ranch/Lonetree neighborhoods. Not the first place I would expect to be hit by tornado.

Anybody get pics/video?

I was shopping at Costco when the worst of the storm was above us. It was deafening in there when the hail started pelting the roof.

Many roof leak in the commercial buildings in this area….

Had a tornado pass over last night. It did't touch down. It was on the weather radar. I ran outside and there was very little wind, the noise ovehead sounded like a 747 coming down. I actually expected a plane to crash nearby.
Supposedly we are going to have huge rains tonight and the phone alerts are warning flash floods and they are evacuating homeless by Fountain Creek and closing roads. Pueblo County is out of "drought" status for the first time in 40 years.

I hope that the rest of the state and other parts out west are getting as much rain as we have been getting. The entire Western U.S. needs water badly.

The Highlands Ranch tornado initially touched down right by my office and ran east. It was nuts.

First cell phone warning got ignored, we've gotten several of those this year.

2nd warning and we looked outside.

3rd cell phone warning mixed with a rumble unlike any thunderstorm I've experienced, and it was clear it was the real deal, so I had everyone take shelter as best we could.

The crazy thing is all the trees simply snapped at the base. I'd expect the uprooted trees with the saturated ground, but so many truly snapped off. Wow.

Initial rating of EF-1 with 97mph winds.

Had a tornado pass over last night. ... I ran outside ...
No, no, no!
Take shelter in the most secure part of the house, away from windows, etc.
Be safe.

I was driving home from getting a haircut in Englewood when the storm was starting to blow in. Was racing it down Broadway thinking I was getting south of it enough . . . and the storm kept building/moving south with me. Was pretty sporty by the time I got to HR Pkwy & Broadway. Got the SUV in the garage and all hell broke loose. We live over near the Highlands Ranch Mansion. Tornado went pretty much right between my place and my mom's place near University & 470 and missed us both.

Lost a couple tree limbs at the house and trees are shredded . . . neighborhood looked like fresh coleslaw yesterday. But fortunately, we were largely unscathed. Lots of fences and trees down really close by.

View from my house security camera just now. No damage that I can see yet. The hail came hard and fast too.

Even tornados avoid Pueblo.

Good pic.

Folks in Merino/Atwood hood are hiding out tonite. Gotten 3 "severe" tornado warnings in the last hour.

I was canvassing the neighborhood off of Rock Canyon High School when I looked up and saw dark mammatus clouds with a green cast. I cut the case and got home, took some photos of the clouds and then a friend texted me to take cover. I got his text three minutes before the emergency alert, which gave me a chance to get the cats in the basement. There were times when the rain and hail were so thick that I couldn't see across the street. Neighbors lost a tree, I lost my rhubarb and all of my peaches on the tree.

The twister was due west of where I was when it fizzled out, but still got a lot of wind from the storm. It went towards our place in Parker but no damage was seen other than hail
