Severe weather season is here

[303 Mopar]

In Denver yesterday the temp dropped from 78 to 38 in two hours, followed by an ice storm topped with 3-4" of the first snow of the year.

Amazing how good the weather was when I was there in Nov really

High today of 90° tomorrow night get up to 60°. In Texas that makes us pretty ripe for a big storm [hail]

Racecars are tucked in.

100,000 people evacuated. Holy Cow!

Some people don't believe how fast the weather in Denver changes.....

[YellowThumper]

Well,
There are numerous major fires and more on the way due to high winds and drugged out people the gov caters to...
Multiple millions now without power.

Just another day in Ca. where the choice to spend 10x more on post issue strikes over preemptive strikes.

And our govenor just confirmed that they cannot confirm the fire was started by "unhoused Angelinos"

Living beside the Rockies for a lot of my life I completely understand , I have seen the season change while sitting at a stop light , literally 2 minutes !

we got 18" this morning in about 3 hours in Salida.  It compressed to half that depth in a few hours.  Roads are really slick.  I saw one car had went over a 90' cliff and into the Arkansas river.  Typical days drive.
one hour southwest we only got about 4" in Westcliffe/Silvercliffe. Picture is of the Sangre De Cristo's on the way home from work.

Very bad storm this afternoon. I was at work when it hit. 100mph winds for at least a half hour. 95% of the trees in the town where I work are topped or have fallen. Looks like a war zone. Took a long time to find my way out of town. Everywhere I turned the road was blocked. Lots of big trees on houses. Work has significant damage. Roofs partially blown off buildings, overhead doors blown off. A block wall was pushed in 6 inches. A 2x12 piece of lumber was blown through a building. Luckily no damage at home. Still no power right now. My daily driver somehow escaped without a scratch. Other coworkers vehicles didn't fair as well. I counted 8 semis flipped on the way home.

Glad to here that at least you're okay. I had to Google it and found a site with a slideshow.

Power came back on at my house yesterday morning at around 9.  Still no power in Marion where I work.  All the surrounding small towns had huge lines for gas.  Everyone from the hard hit areas had to drive there to fill up.

They are calling this a "derecho".  I had never heard the term before.  Basically it's an inland hurricane.

WOW--Mid 90's here everyday--usual late afternoon thunder storm but nothing bad yet. It is coming up to the busy seasons for Hurricanes though..
Stay Safe everybody.
