John, that storm came through Castle Rock before heading East. Gnarly to say the least. Had a few lightening strikes that you saw the light and before you could even start counting heard the thunder.

 

[JohnCushman]

I just saw that one just touched down about 8 miles east of Trinidad

Slowest tornado season in recent history for us. Stay safe Centenials.

 

[Zach]

Tornado on the ground in Ft. Morgan, CO.

 

[HSi-ESi]

I'm glad I'm not flying through Denver today.

Stay safe everyone.

 

[Fixitman]

There probably headed are way here in Kansas

My daughter is stationed at Clovis AFB New Mexico and they had a few out there while she was at a rodeo. Had to seek shelter and was texting me in horror. Some of the pics were unreal. Was on edge all night worrying about her. Stay safe all in tornado country.

I grew up in tornado alley and tornados were a regular occurance. I remember April 10 1979 (I was 10). A huge tornado came through (Wichita Falls, TX) and wiped out about 1/2 our town. The eye in the center was a mile wide. It was devestating.

Haha. You learn to say thing like "Ma' get the camera"

But really I live in Oklahoma and it's not so bad. That is unless it gets bad. Then it's not so good.

My mom lives on the north side of Tulsa, thankfully nothing worse than the ice storms so far.

I was coming back from Canadian, Texas right after that happened. That was an awesome thing to see. John

It sounded like a thousand freight trains. Me and mine were in a culvert under a street when it passed about 3 blocks to the north...had it passed directly over us we might as well been in a soda straw. Our house was untouched and I picked my way to my big brother's street and couldn't even recognize his lumber pile. He had loaded his family into his truck and barely made it outside the path. He drove up while I was looking for any sign of him and family...still vividly recall the relief of seeing them.

That same storm system had just torn thru our hometown of Vernon, 50 miles west of Wichita Falls not 2 hours prior.

Sad losses and terrible destruction that day...took decades for spring fear to subside.

 

[DRAFTSTUD]

Think about that happening and effecting so many and here we are talking about that one storm that when it happened we didn't even know the other folks on this forum. John

 

[gknutson]

I live 80 miles northeast of Wichita Falls and my Dad had shingles and loads of paper falling from the storm after that one. He still talks about it. A little before my time.
