    Default People injured and animals killed in Colorado Springs ?

    Hey all of you down in CS, what is this that I am hearing blurbs about people injured & hospitalized, and several animals killed at the Cheyenne Mountain zoo due to the large high capacity hail storms down there ?










    There should be a law banning those you know........

    I heard people were injured but that is it so far. Hail was big, tennis ball big.

    Got home in time to catch the 5 PM news, it was a vulture & a goose ? that were killed with several other animals injured.
    No human fatalities, 8 sent to the hospital as of now. But who knows, getting beaned by a tennis ball sized hail stone could be fatal.

    The news clip of the storm was wicked.

    How is this possible? Nature is so balanced and harmonious. We humans must have caused this "extreme weather event".

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    I was out in Flagler working a storm with baseball sized hail and 60-70 mph winds. The farmers were telling me that a little further North one of the guys found a few dead antelope and several smaller things like rabbits and raccoons.

    Falcon (east of Colorado Springs) on Highway 24 @ Meridian Rd had grape to golf ball hail around 3pm. Everyone where I work sustained some type of vehicle damage.
    On the news it was reported Fountain (south of Colorado Springs)had grapefruit size hail again in less than 30 days!

    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
