    Default Anyone still alive - Fort Collins?

    ~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.

    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.

    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.
