Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I was standing in line for the demo derby and BOOM down pour bitches. Wife and I went home changed, ate then went back our for the final derby.
No real damage, but the cellar flooded a bit (about 50-70 gallons worth) and I had to move the car out of the street to keep the flood level below the doors. The street was 6" deep in the middle and well over a foot by the gutter.

Got caught in Greeley at 85 & 34 when the rain started and immediately came the hail. Took the first exit and drove around the the down wind side of the first building to the right and hugged the wall with the roof overhanging about 1/2 the truck. The hail was pea sized mostly with some as large as grapes. Scared the heck out of the wife and lasted for about 40 minutes altogether. After we got home I looked the truck over and there are some dings here and there but you have to look for them. At one point the rain was so heavy the wipers could not keep up.

Spotters reported several funnels couple miles northwest of us and storm was headed right at our place. Wife was driving home from Ft Morgan and in area with no cell service. Very frustrating not being able to reach her for warning. Radio had just reported that cell was falling apart, which was why she headed home.
Got a shit ton of rain and small hail. Tornado spotted couple miles east of Ft Morgan and another spotted near Log Lane Village.
Major props for the volunteers of Northern Colorado Skywarn and the Wiggins volunteer firemen. Monitored them on scanner while I was stuck in traffic jam between Monument and Greenland.
Coming back from dinner on Alameda between Federal and 25 there was a lot of water on the road. Up to the bottom of my Grand Cherokee in one spot. I was having fun. There was one dumb ass on the road whose wipers apparently didn't work.

Kind of what I thought but I always try and give the benefit of the doubt.

I live East of DIA and we got hit pretty good. No hail at all, but a LOT of rain. My pasture had standing water everywhere, which is not normal, lol. The "dry" creek beds were roaring, it was pretty sweet. I did lose some more shingles off of my shop roof, but that has been an ongoing issue I need to get fixed.
All in all, I needed the rain for the pasture. So I was thankful even with the Tornado and Flash flood warnings.
