Apparently, tornadoes are a rare occurence so close to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In the "banana belt" where we live the really big storms that kick up in the high country (mountains) usually pass right over us at altitudes so high that we aren't affected.
Today, strange cloud activity combined with unusually high humidity for the region created the perfect conditions for SEVEN tornadoes. A few of which touched ground in Wellington (just north of us), Windsor (to the east of us on the other side of I-25) and Greeley (slightly to the south east of us and on the other side of I-25).
Lots of destruction, hail, rain and insane wind.

The tornado that passed through Windsor was estimated to be a mile wide.
The oddest part of the storm system experience was to see people in Old Town come outside to stare at the sky to watch and photograph cloud formations.
