Ah, springtime in Colorado.

When allergies bloom and so do tornadoes? Let me just say that this morning was a little nerve-wracking. Coming back out to Erie today, the skies were clouding up – which is odd. Afternoons are usually t-storm time. While out walking Thatcher, we had to turn back because of the big, fat raindrops starting to fall. Followed closely by the hail:

What passed too-uncomfortably-close-by was a pack of tornadoes, apparently:

Seven reports of tornadoes touching down have been received from the following locations:
- Laramie, Wyoming
- Windsor
- 2 miles northwest of Milton
- Platteville
- Gilcrest
- 3 miles east of Milliken
- 8 miles west of Greeley
- 4 miles west of Dacono

Do you know what was 9 miles west of Dacono? Thatcher and I. Like I said, waaaaaaay too close for comfort…
