Had an F3/4 hit about 5 miles from the house.
Lost power at about noon yesterday and got it back at 5 this morning.
I had hail the size of grape fruit. Luckily both the wife and I were at work at the time. Anyone that had a car parked out side is getting a new windshield and it looks like someone took a sledge hammer to the car bodies. I gotta call the insurance people and see about a roof inspection. The hail blew holes in my water gardens PVC liner (custom cut liner), the wifes gardens are pretty much destroyed, but it looks like the house survived so I am good with it.
Took the power poles and snaped em like tooth pics. I am not talking those cute little ones right next to the rode, I am talking the high power ones. Lookes like something out of a movie. Trees that have stood for a hundred years ripped out of the ground.
I know we have a few SW members in windsor. They don't know when they will get power back. They evacuated a part of windsor because of a LARGE gas leak. One guy was killed outside of Greeley when his motorhome was destroyed.
All in all it's good for us and I got a brand spanky new honda generator. They originally told us it could be up to 5 days till we got power back. I see they werer able to run temp lines in till they get the poles replaced.
