Confirmed touchdown by NWS in Highlands Ranch. Think of a suburb in Colorado that is designed to make you think you're living in a synthetic, soulless California tract home development - that's Highlands Ranch. Would be very, very weird to see a sizable tornado so close to the foothills, though. Seeing ping pong sized hail two days in a row in Denver also really odd.
Pretty cool online radar viewer, both live level 2 radar and archived data Need to sign up for a free account for live data .. Not sure if it's as timely as radarscope or GR, have only played around with it a bit. Can download archived level 2 data here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/noaa-nexrad-level2/index.html Or here: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/nexradinv/index.jsp
We were in Fort Collins for a wedding MDW. More hail than I had seen in my life combined to this point
Pure speculation, but I would imagine there are questions related "can/should this be rated ef5 vs high end ef4" based upon how well things were built or other damage found.
Hop in the tractor and pack a cooler full of Busch Lights and let’s just see what that bitch Mother Nature is made of!
Tim Marshall is there and released some pictures. Anchor bolts were twisted and ripped out of a concrete foundation.
Can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on with this guy’s hat. Does he have only the front half of his head or something. Never seen anything like it. Is it a hat photoshopped onto his head?
Still think there won’t be enough damage indicators to warrant EF5 but that tornado rivals Rolling Fork for the strongest of the year
Line of storms south of Scottsbluff wants some respect. I was watching the sunset light up the SW most end of this storm, it was spectacular.
I'll try to get radar later, but one of the strongest signatures I've seen since I've been up here, even despite the distance from the radar
