While I was sitting in the Boulder Justice Center, listening to testimony to the Grand Jury, all hell broke loose around us. When we stepped outside, after the hearing, we looked up at the clouds above us, and said it smelled like rain. Got in the car, got home, turned on the news, and gaped. Several reported
tornadoes in and around Berthoud and Simla,
over two feet of
hail in southwest Denver, and 5 to 8 inches of
rain fell around the tornadoes. A lot of the town of Hygiene is under water, and the Big Thompson River may flood (look out, Lyons). The Cache le Poudre River is flooding again. Boulder is under a Flash Flood Warning until 9 o'clock tonight. Then, early this morning, the road caved in in Sheridan, a suburb of Denver, and swallowed a police officer driving his police department SUV - the hole is more than 15 feet deep, and contains active gas lines. Yikes!
