It felt like Armageddon

Six tornado touch downs occurred in my part of Colorado and the Southern tip of Wyoming today.

Each system was very large and in the F3 category.

This is un-freaking heard of in our neck of the woods!

We are ok, but members of Casa del Meyer were in varying stages of lockdown at work, school and daycare today. And that was pretty dang scary.

After the weather cleared up this afternoon, we hightailed it to C-town to visit our family for an extended holiday weekend. Where it's flooding.

Always an adventure.

  7. Hi. I hope you survived the 'naders we got on Friday, too! I don't think any touched down IN Cheyenne, but several were ripping up the country around us. So I just spent several hours in the basement listening to the hail and the guy from channel 5 telling us to stay safe.
