episode_narrativeA powder keg of severe weather occurred over the northeast plains of Colorado. The environment became strongly sheared in the vicinity of an intense surface low pressure system allowing for the formation of over two dozen tornadoes. In addition to the tornadoes, large hail. strong thunderstorm winds and heavy rain accompanied the storms. Rainfall amounts generally ranged from 1 to 2 inches, with some minor flooding occuring in parts of Morgan County. Considering the high volume of tornadoes reported, many touching down at or near the same time, the damage was relatively minimal.
event_narrativeLightning blew apart a large ash tree at the Colorado State University campus. The bolt left a 3-ft crater and splintered the tree into thousands of pieces. Debris from the blast broke the windows of a nearby building, damaging the inside.
