Anyone else get annihilated by the hail?

What a wild night, not tons of hail left over this morning at Bowles and Pierce but lotsa lightning! The wife got some neat video though.

Last night my 2 year old son and I were looking out the window and talking about the lighting and thunder.. he was looking pretty scared so I wanted to show him it was alright.

me: you scared buddy?

son: yeah (looking pretty upset)

me: what are you scared of son?

son:............sharks....

LOL....

Kids are awesome like that.

It seemed to just form right around I-25 and take off to the east. Here's what it looked like around 8:00pm, with a rare visit by mr. purple:



I've heard the conditions today are similar. Might be another fun night.

Yeah, that purple blob parked itself over our house. I was watching KRDO at 10 and they had three camera crews within a mile of our house.

All the grass seed I put down in the front yard is gone now. Blueberry bush, tomato and pepper plants destroyed as well. Oh, well.

Got it pretty good in Parker too, but I grew up in western OK, so I wasn't too concerned. Seen more thunderstorms there than I could ever remember, just a way of life there, like snow in the mountains here.

We got it hard in Briargate here in the Springs. We were driving in it when the hail was like small snowballs! Kids were freaking out. It came in 4 'waves', seemed to last forever! My dogs loved eating/playing in the piles of hail this AM! Crazy stuff...

Tower & Hampden. Hammered the crap out of my trees and piled up a bit on the deck. About 5 minutes before it quit, one of the skylights in the living room started leaking. Hooray!

[Irving]

Oh, there wasn't much of anything here around the house. Go figure..

Yep. No wind, zero thunder, and I'm not even sure it rained.

[Rapid Fire Bunker]

Awesome storm. I stayed up and enjoyed it. Ever since I was a kid I have always loved a good storm. My mother thought I was crazy.

[Fromk]

It was crazy in Lone Tree. The storm basically stalled out over us and there were hours of hail, lightning, and thunder. I've never seen anything like it.

So, round 2 on tap for today/tonight. Morning sounding from Denver had a Lifted Index of -4.7 which portrays a very unstable airmass today with abundant low level moisture, surface dew points in the upper 50's to low 60's across teh Plains and Front Range, and steep lapse rates. This all tranlates into the possiblity of more severe thunderstorms this afternoon, evening and night for areas from the foothills east, and mostly north of the Palmer Divide. Storms likely to form over northeast CO initially, and then develop farther south with the strongest storms again east of I-25 and north of the Palmer Divide, but some storms could again back build into the foothills. Some tornadoes are also a possibility.

So, once again, be alert and aware of developing storms and stay tuned to NOAA weather radio or local radio/TV for any warnings, which could include tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and flooding.
