Windsor CO Tornado report from family there |
|
There is a swath of "total destruction" per e-mail from family a few minutes ago, just blocks from their work and home.
8:00 PM CST and some teachers are not home yet, still at work helping get school kids back together with parents.
Weather channel has some images. I saw a brick wall blow apart.

2. Any determination as to what it was rated? |
|
I'm glad your family is doing okay.
Some twisters touched down in Southern CA, too, someone posted...
AND somewhere in CA got snow today -- it was 80 degrees two days ago.
If I were a Christian, I know what I'd be thinking.

4. A few fences and roofs down/off here in Laramie. |

Hellacious thunderstorm, and now we've got about 2 1/2" of powder on the ground.
