TORNADO WARNING CNTRAL DENVER AND SURROUNDING

[librechik]

stay alert folks--we lost a few city blocks back in 82--Uh oh-- there goes the sirens

I'm smak dab in the center of central Denver

[hlthe2b]

1. Me too... How ya doing librechik?

I'm just east of Cheeseman. See anything?

[librechik]

3. It's not even raining here. Did you hear the sirens? They're right next to you

[hlthe2b]

6. Yup... I sure did...

Finally calmed my thunder-fearing pup down after the wind picked up a bit this afternoon... So far she's sleeping through the sirens--go figure.

[librechik]

8. The warning has shifted over north to Broomfield and thornton

checking the kusa alerts.

[hlthe2b]

10. Best wishes to our neighbors to the north and west....

Now all I have to do is wait for my barometric pressure-induced migraine to resolve..... Feeling relief, nontheless.

2. Yikes----I have son in Denver.

[barbtries]

4. whoa stay safe

i had no idea tornados struck there

[Drunken Irishman]

5. We had a tornado rip through downtown Salt Lake City in 1999.

19. We are an extremely high

tornado area here in Colorado. They happen regularly. Just one more thing they don't tell the immigrants to the state in the "Move to Colorful Colorado" brochure, along with:

Rattlesnakes
Mountain Lions
Black Widow Spiders
Abandoned mine shafts
sudden violent thunderstorms that cause freak flooding and lightning strikes
avalanches
huge, dangerous snowstorms
forest fires
altitude sickness
extremely annoying fitness buffs

What did I forget?:evilgrin:

Oh yeah, bentonite clay that turns to grease when wet, causing new houses to slide down hillsides and highways to heave and buckle!

[librechik]

21. Hail.

26. Yes! Hail! Dimpled cars!

Battered roofs! Broken windows!

Thank you.

25. How could you forget our beloved brown recluse?

:hi:

Usually, though, the tornados are east, on the plains.

In Denver, they are very scary because so unpredictable.

[colorado thinker]

28. The list just gets longer

and longer.

Rabid bats and black plague prairie dogs and hanta virus . . .

[bobbolink]

29. Watchyer step there--I LOVE BATS!!

:)

If the list gets long enough, maybe we will staunch the flow of people moving into a state with a lack of water...

Except of the frozen variety. :)

[colorado thinker]

30. I love bats too

Just not rabid ones.

Seriously, we should put out another brochure, listing all the reasons why they should NOT move here and hand them out at the border. At least they'd be informed . . .

No water, that's another thing for the list!

[barbtries]

31. lol

i have to ask: do you hate it, or are you just trying to discourage others from discovering it? :)

extremely annoying fitness buffs. lol those grow everywhere, trust me.

7. I know I should be careful what I wish for....

but I'd take a tornado if it would give us some rain! We are north of Denver, in Lafayette, and it is just a little oasis of dryness here. Rains to the north of us, rains to the south of us.

[hlthe2b]

12. well, dear... If it is headed to Broomfield, Lafayette can't be far

behind.... Yes, best be careful what you wish for. Stay safe.

[Kceres]

22. This wish worked.

There is a lovely shower right now in Lafayette. Haven't heard thunder or seen lightening. Gosh, I've missed this.

[XOKCowboy]

9. Grey clouds, a little cool rain and some thunder in Arvada

but no severe weather. From the last Weather Alert it seems the worst is in NE Boulder and Weld Counties

[librechik]

11. Warning shifted to Boulder CO and Weld County including Windsor, Loveland and Northeastern Boulder

Tornado Alley

[hlthe2b]

13. Weld got nailed just a few months ago....

Tornado Alley, indeed.

[librechik]

14. Now that I have you all here together, what are your plans for the DNC?

clever ruse, huh? I have extra special Native American rainmaking powers!

[XOKCowboy]

18. You too??

I've been using my Osage/Delaware powers to bring rain and some cool to our area. Guess we over did it. :)

[librechik]

20. Indeed--Perhaps a little too much pot in my Pottawattami chant.

Ooooog-La La!

a little bit east of you, my brother.

[Kceres]

27. Hope to be involved in the convention somehow.

I completed an application on line tonight from the Colorado Democratic Party for volunteer training. Volunteering should be fun and hopefully lead to seats for the Invesco Obama speech. My sister from Florida wants to fly out with my niece just to see the Obama acceptance speech, to see history being made. I had to tell her that I may not be able to get my hands on any tickets. We'll see.

[DearAbby]

15. Sitting in the foothills just outside of Golden...

like the DUer in Lafayette, we have had rains all around us, but nothing but spitting here...the weather is cold from what we have been used too (welcome change) would love some of the wet stuff...

Heard the warnings on the radio, it is up north and east of us here...keep alert guys.

[malaise]

16. Stay safe

:grouphug:

[ColbertWatcher]

17. WHERE IS THE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FORUM!??? n/t

[Hotler]

23. Sitting here in Englewood looking out my front door...

it's really nice out. The air is so calm. No sirens yet. I'm drinking anyway. Englewood DUers give a shout out.

[bobbolink]

24. looks like I got out of there in time.... Denver's tornados are really scary

because they're so damned unpredictable!

And I hate those sirens...

I'll be thinking of you!

:hi:
