The rapture is happening in Parker

[grim]

And it's in the form of this storm that has been hovering over Parker for 2 hours. Anyone else watching the epic lightning?

[Matty]

Same going on in Aurora.

[longrider]

I left work just in time tonight! I did get rained on a little and felt a couple hailstones as I passed the Pinery but I was dry before I got to Franktown. leave 30 minutes later and I would be hiding out somewhere

[longrider]

Now as for the wind....

It was all I could do to stay on my side of the road and then turning into the wind to go down my street was a real adventure

[Snowman]

Damn sinners

[JKOL]

Looks like fun from Arvada.

[Zach929rr]

Sometimes I'm quite happy that I'm all up in the Front Range's shit and all that nasty stuff usually just blows over.

[birchyboy]

Just now getting some hellacious thunder and lightning. My old, deaf dog has been clueless until a thunderbumper just shook the house.

Just put the gopro in the driveway to catch some lightning shots. Hail storm got pretty heavy but cornfed lives 5 minutes south of me and he got a pile of hail on his front step.

My kid is just dancing and saying wow to the thunder and lightning and my husky wont leave the bedroom :lol:

[bluedogok]

I was riding my new bike home from G-Force watching the impending doom ahead of me, got a few sprinkles as I pulled into the garage. Perfect timing.

[longrider]

Some people wont have to water for a while...

Me and Rossi watchin the hail from the front porch. Check out the inch or two of hail piled up in the street.

Another inch or two on my deck.

I miss the nightly thunder storms we have back home. We usually had less hail and more tornadoes though.

Sounds like what we had in Oklahoma, although we got hail and tornadoes.

[salsashark]

[Wrider]

Fuck you light-dwellers... This stuff helped me sleep for 8 solid hours. That NEVER happens for me during the day, usually 3-4, 5 at most.

[Ezzzzy1]

Tripod, Fstop set to max, manual focus, 20 second exposure... and maybe a little photoshop :eyebrows:

[JKOL]

This weather definitely makes me a little home sick. Storms like this are an almost nightly occurance during the spring in Kansas.

[Ghosty]

Watch the crazy videos on 9News right now. Colorado Springs has crazy hail and DEEP flooding! Cars are under water, wtf?!

[salsashark]

^^ Getting out of east Parker this evening, the streets were covered in hail. It clogged the drains so there was quite a bit of flooding... I was really wishing I had driven the truck. By the time I got to Parker Road, all was clear.

Did see one downed tree on Quincy, but definitely worse farther south.

I'd still be down there waiting for the streets to melt had I been on the bike!

[mdub]

I rode home in this mess. I have been caught in worst. The wind was a big factor on the way home. Top speed close to 60 on university.

[kawasakirob]

Heard on the radio there were tornado warnings for people to take shelter a few miles outside of Byers. But this was at like 8 or so

[kawasakirob]

Dont know if any touched down or not

[tecknojoe]

We just got golf ball sized hail from hell fuck in H.R. I watched it destroy everyone's car from my garage. only thing missing was a beer

[kawasakirob]

^ :lol:

[Zach929rr]

Got woke up from a dead sleep for 10 solid minutes of hail. Round two is starting right now.

[Will the Thrill]

We are in a tornado warning in Lakewood.

[FZRguy]

Easing up at Kipling and 6th now.

[madvlad]

We are in a tornado warning in Lakewood.

Yea Lakewood/Golden has sirens going off.

[LivingPools]

Good to hear!

Tornado warnings have been silent for awhile, metro Denver.

[FZRguy]

Channel 7 has good coverage. Looks like storm is heading NE toward Denver.

[FZRguy]

Littleton and Aurora too.

[madvlad]

Yea, pretty crazy stuff. Never seen anything this severe here. Hopefully everyone is good

[Ghost]

SE Aurora too.

Lots of hail, lots of thunder, lots of rain, but nothing Biblical, Grim's Rapture ain't happening.

[madvlad]

Lol I'm sure the title is heavily sarcastic as I don't see Grim being religious in the least bit lol... well back to bed, tornado warnings have been lifted. Gotta be at the shop at 6:00 am... bleh!

Sounds like it's coming back this way, maybe it'll rain locusts & frogs this time.

[madvlad]

Seems to be moving east bound pretty quick-ish now.

[Ghost]

Yeah, I've been watching it, eastern edge is full of lightning

[mdub]

Woke me up. 20 min worth of pea sz hail. Funny part I have new shingles waiting to be installed today. I'm glad none of the package shingles slid off roof. Thank ya haysus...haha

[grim]

This morning they say we may get to experience it all over again tonight!

[mdub]

Yep. I wash bike , troweled it dry. And driving in today.

[longrider]

I am driving in too, after being just minutes from being stuck until midnight I am not taking a chance with tonights forecast

[mdub]

where are these dudes to do my roof? hope they get it done before the rapture comes back at 4pm according to the forecast.

[madvlad]

Haha soooo glad I put the bike away for the week.

[sprtbkbabe]

LOVED riding into work this morning! Pretty humid, but still warm. There are some corners and low spots with sand, but not enough you can't ride around it

I wore the wet weather gear in case the ride home starts to get a little rainy. Besides, the heavy stuff won't come down again until I'm in a dead sleep like last night... just in time to wake me up for 2 hrs :mad:

[sprtbkbabe]

just got home from Parker... my mustang's toast. Looks like a big blue golf ball in my garage. I feel sick.

That SUX!!! :(

[Snowman]

Shameless plug but if you have water where it shouldn't be these are the guy to call..

Jim Hochevar at Service Master Central
720-490-6896

Just tell them you know Davy Attwood (Davy4575 on the board) on the CSC board. He works for them.

[salsashark]

Oh man pics of your misfortune or it didn't happen!!

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8IT8zbux_MI/T9H5zjCXrLI/AAAAAAAAMtQ/V35OpPPBG4Q/s800/hood.jpg

quick one of the hood...

Every body panel looks just as bad. Initial reaction by the body shop was $6-7K. I guess I'm kind of glad that I didn't have my truck down there because that would have most definitely been a total loss. Now the insurance game begins.

Take the dough! Buy another bike! :harrrrr:

90 today. Gonna ride. Oh yeah...

[salsashark]

:lol:

hmmmm a nicely equipped used KTM 950/990 runs around 8K...

[grim]

Oh man that hail made your mustang its bitch.

[mdub]

that is one of the most awful feeling to experienced...something you cherish gets damage.

[~Barn~]

Damn Salsa... I hope things go in your favor with the insurance, as much as possible. =\

[salsashark]

mehh... we shall see. The car's not even a year old, so they're going to fix it. I also trust the body shop I went to yesterday so it'll all work out. I'm confident.

[Slo]

Last time this happened progressive adjuster claimed it was 1800 in damage on my EVO X. By the time the shop took a look and called them back down, came out to 13k.

[Penadam]

Same thing on my A6. Estimate from insurance shop was $2k, estimate from Audi shop was something like $8-9k, final bill to insurance was around $11k.

The adjustor missed all the damage to the trim pieces, and wrote everything else up for PDR, even the stuff that had to have traditional repair because of its location. On on hood, it was actually cheaper for them to replace and repaint than try and do that much PDR.

I would take their estimate with a grain (or a whole shaker) of salt.

[salsashark]

^^ Haven't heard back from insurance yet... 6-7K was the WAG from the body shop. Figured insurance would go 100% PDR for repair and that it'll be a fight.

[Penadam]

I never had to personally fight insurance. The body shop always took care of it. They would call the adjustor out and show then what needed to be done and why it would cost that much, and insurance would accept it. Only thing to be worried about is the bill getting so high they total it out.

Last years "catastrophy" led to over $8,300 worth of repairs on my truck, and a new roof on the house. Truck looked like a golf ball, it blew through plastic cowls, and a tonneau cover. Insurance was pretty easy since 3/4 of cheyenne had claims. GL

[Slo]

Just a note, I was asked by insurance before if I had been driving and if so, did I pull over. This may or may not be a trick question, car was parked at work so I am thinking that if it happened on the road, you would want to tell the agent you pulled over and stopped.

Kind of like the animal thing, if you swerve to avoid an animal or dead roadkill and you damage you car hitting something else, it's your fault. If the animal runs out and hits you, then it's not your fault.
