~2300, holy worst hail I've ever seen, especially from colorado. Couldn't hear myself talk inside it was so bad. Mixed with a very fast paced lightning storm. I've got a 3-4 foot wide and maybe 4-6 inch deep swell running down both curbs with a floating layer of ice from the amount of hail that came down.

I mourn the neighbors Audi and others left outside. Glad I have garage parking.

I'm glad that missed us. We just got an awesome lightning show and a couple of quick power outages.

I was in the shower and thought the end was near! That was pretty wild on the east side. I wonder how full the river is now? Man we are gonna flood [Bang]

TWC said NE. That was the most intense storm I have seen in a long time! I was getting nervous when the street flooded in under 20 minutes and the yard looks like it snowed. The poudre river was already full before this storm.

That's what I'm worried about!

These are from last June.

Alejandro's Discount Roofing Service will be knocking on your door in the morning.....

I can remember as a kid in OK, seeing hailstones as big as my fist. The yard was saturated, and those big bastards just slammed into the ground and stuck. Didn't bounce, just smacked a hole in the yard and stuck. Beat the living shit out of the whole town. I fear large hail.

I don't know how my cars did not get any dents or broken glass. I've got to get the garage cleaned out so I can park them inside from now on. Still, it wasn't was bad as Denver in '90. That was one of the few times in my life were I got lucky. My brand new car was low on gas so I took my wife's car to my job. It got over $2000 in damage. Quite a bit considering it was a used Hyundai we had bought for only $3500.

We lucked out. Ours is probably too young to be afraid of it and slept right through it.

It got very interesting here in Loveland last night. I have 2 skylights over our bed and I was sure they were going to get broke out.

I was down stairs packing ammo away when my wife came down scared wondering if we should get the kids in the basement. The hail was VERY LOUD!!!!!

My oldest woke up and heard what my wife was saying and he went running down the stairs into the gun room. When I went back in there he was face down, ass up underneath a chair. It was really funny! [ROFL1]

They just tore that house down this spring. I guess they didn't have insurance and it sat there like for two years.

Aw, that's too bad. It would have made a good hobbit or harry potter house or something like that.

I remember, I voluntered to work all 4 of my days off that weekend gassing generators and what not trying to keep service for the people who had generators to power their TVs/PC's/phones. What a mess. My cousin lives 2 blocks south of Jim and her house was untouched, but the houses across the street from her were jacked up!

We didn't get as much damage down here a while back when it hailed like crazy, but we got a ton of it.

Yes that is hail. At my parents house that day. it was up to 3" deep in spots. The road in front of their house was at least 2" deep.
