Not a good sound! Be sure and check your roof after it's over and don't go out for a while after it stops. Keep track of your weather and any warnings that may come on.

Just saw pics on the news of the hail in Colorado. Wow! looked like snow! They were shoveling it off some sort of playing field. They didn't say exactly where but I know around Denver had some tornado warnings this afternoon.

Stay safe!

Oh my sylvia......that is scary....... Heard a little earlier that there was a tornado near Denver earlier. Sorry for all the nasty weather. Good luck next year with the fruit trees. Stay safe.

It was storming here earlier too, but the sun is shinning now.

That was probably Coors Field. The Rockies are scheduled to play the SF Giants in a couple of hours. Also had tornado warnings, though I don't know yet if any touched down. Those storm clouds looked very ominous!

They've been talking about the weather around Denver during our local news. We used to get that kind of hail when I lived in West Texas. It's really scary, especially if you're in a car. It sounds like cannon balls.

Already heard this morning that we're expecting big storms to start rolling in around noon today. Jeez, snow & 34 degrees on Mothers Day, now this. Oh, well, I've lived in CO all my life, so I should know by now how quickly it can change.

We say that about TN, too, but at least we don't have the snow. "If you don't like the weather today, just wait till tomorrow." We're expecting some severe stuff this afternoon, too. Be safe!

My DH and I were just talking a few days ago that it has been quite a while since we have heard of large hail in Denver. It used to happen every year or every other and then we heard about this storm.

Hope you roof is alright sylvia.

Here we go again. Tornado warnings in Denver area. Just in case you don't know, a warning means the conditions exist; a watch means a tornado has been sighted.

MickD — Thu, 22 May 2014 22:00:38 GMT

I believe...watch (conditions are right for tornadic activity) and warning (funnel cloud has been spotted....duck and cover)...I grew up in tornado alley....
