Colorado snow

[Bob Correll]

Our oldest son lives in a rural area a few miles NE of CO Springs.
They're snowed in and lost power for several hours from 18" of snow.

We didn't want any more so sent it south

I'd take the snow over the tornado watch we're under this evening.

I'd take the snow over the tornado watch we're under this evening.

No kidding. The tornadoes that come through here last summer were not pleasant (5 in less than a 5 mile radius.)

Some pretty severe storms moving thru the last couple of weeks.This has been a weird spring, 40's today and 80's tomorrow.

Hopefully, he followed your footsteps and can feed the fam with no power. Last night, we had a severe thunderstorm warning while three neighboring towns merely 9 miles away had EF-1 tornadoes during which no alarms sounded. I have long said I'd opt for snow over a tornado, after having experienced the 1974 "Xenia" Ohio tornadoes.

We've moved from a tornado watch to a tornado warning.
Typing this from our basement.

Hoping you and others remain safe.

I was watching the carnage that was happening in the midwest this morning. Hope all of you in those ravaged areas are safe and come through this unscathed.

 

[Bob Correll]

The threat is over for our immediate area, had some heavy rain and strong winds.
We're back above ground, safe and sound. Thanks for your concerns.
The Cards baseball game was postponed, but we still have St Louis Blues hockey!!

This time of year in CO, anything can happen - especially if you're at any kind of elevation.

People walk up Dunklin Street on Thursday in Jefferson City, Mo. The early analysis of storm damage has led the National Weather Service to believe the town was struck by an EF3. LIV PAGGIARINO/AP

Thankfully no deaths in our state's capital, but sadly three were killed in SW Missouri.
These came on the 8th anniversary of the deadly Joplin, MO EF5 tornado that killed 158, and left the city in total devastation.
