    Holy Storms Batman!

    Anyone else go through this last night? We couldn't see the apartments across the street from us from all the hail and wind. Our work's power is out and one of the guys from work's house is trashed. Here's some pics.

    Had about a half an hour of heavy rain and lightning around 11:30, but that was about it...

    Just a lot of lightning and rain by me. The lightning was pretty damn amazing. It went on for like 45 minutes straight.

    Yeah, Donna says the storm put a big pine tree into the door of her classroom at school and flooded the building. No damage at our house, but we were right in between the two tornado warnings. Stood outside for a while watching the lightning illuminate the spinning clouds.

    Wasn't too bad in my neighborhood at Kipling & Belleview. Mostly just plant damage (leaves and gardens).

    My buddy up the street at Kipling and Hampden got his truck beat to sh!t.

    That siding is unbelievable.

    Thankfully we got the cars in the garage just in time last night. Broke the fuck out of everything in our condo. Mainly plants, some ground lights are all that were really damaged.

    Sleeping pills FTW. I woke up to pee DURING the storm and did not even know it was going on.

    Now, if I can just score some Ambien I will take care of the left overs in the fridge tonight.

    It never really made it to my area. I saw all the lightning off to the northwest but it was too far away to hear the thunder. I woke up later to a light rain, in the morning the rain gauge showed 0.15

    Just rain and entire clouds lighting up with lightning near me. Unfortunately it did a number on the DMV computer system somewhere somehow. Went to FINALLY get my permanent plates and title taken care of this morning bright and early and the system was down for the entire state.

    Had some crazy ass lightning and wind. I dont think I have seen that much lightning, looked like someone was setting off constant fireworks. Sorry to hear about the hail people got! I hate hail!

    Re: Holy Storms Batman!

    storm was pretty vocal last night, but didn't cause any damage at my place (luckily)! There were a few spots in the roads on the way to work that were washed out and covered in debris, but nothing major.

    Sorry to see this!

    I was driving thru the storm. It started after the Rockies game and was raining on us the whole time there after.

    No hail (LiDo) but there was a shit-load of rain.

    The sirens went off in the area though.

    Nope. Heard the tornado sirens about 10:30, however the storm was in WR during that moment.

    Tell your buddy it's best to seal up the holes in the siding until the contractors can get to it. It's been since 6.7.09 (Southlands twister) and I am still in a hurry up and wait mode for the house to be fixed.

    Protecto Wrap is the product the siding Co recommended, until replacement.

    Look into your homeowner's/renters insurance, it might be covered.

    Re: Holy Storms Batman!

    Yeah... Im over all the big storms. Really puts my riding time and social life in the shitter!! Everyone near the storm should for sure get on their roofs and check for damage. Also, put the cars in a garage or somewhere with lighting (not the sun) and check for hail damage. Its hard to see in the sun. Sounds like there was a lot of damage from the smaller hail, just hard to see.

    I love my job, just not when it hails!
    Whatever jack ass.
