Tornadoes, Hail, and Rain! Oh My!

Last Wednesday we got pummeled with hail and rain for hours here at Old Will. We even got to see the last few seconds of a funnel cloud as it crawled back up into The Nothing. The warehouse flooded a bit, while a little annoying, nothing got ruined. After the shoes got soaked getting to the car, it was a hopeful drive. Hoping that the hail didn't reach our houses, gardens freshly planted:( The garden, for me at least, was toast.

Of course none of this is bad at all when you consider the massive tornado outbreak that the south had back in April. Or the tragedy that struck Joplin, Missouri yesterday.



Today we had a good little storm hit the Denver area, but of course it slid a little too far east. Then another little cell gave us a quick soak and some ultra close lightning, nothing too bad. Hopefully we'll get a ton more storms this year to ease off the drought. Above is a radar shot of the storm that just missed us. We're located by the little red star in the upper left hand corner of the image.

Stay Classy,
Trevor
