Whirlwind of a Week!

“Fanatics in power and the funnel of a tornado have this in common – the narrow path in which they move is marked by violence and destruction” ~ Oscar Ostlund

Tornado sightings all across the Denver metro area this past week. Generally not a common site we see in the city, but they’ve sure been unwelcome visitors this week, that’s for sure! Pretty scary stuff.

Walt Pourier (Nakota Designs Inc.) took this photo last Sunday, June 7th 2009, in Thornton Colorado (just north of Denver). It was approximately 3 blocks from his house!

We’ll continue to watch the skies and hope we don’t get whirled up in the winds of the tornados this coming week. “Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas any more.” No…we’re in Denver?!

UPDATE: I just received additional photos from Walt, with yesterday’s weather craze. Infact, here was what he said in an email he sent me:

“WOW! We have been having like seven days of freaky weather in Colorado… and expecting more of the same today. These are from yesterday, June 14th, Sunday. Over our neighborhood, Thornton Colorado just north of Denver… over the house looking South and North and East.. all above.

Crazy, the clouds, actually have faces in them, changing, rolling… rotation was crazy, funnels picking out…. sirens going off in downtown Denver, evacuated a Rockies baseball game, sent everyone into the tunnels at the stadium. The lightening has been INTENSE bolts and instant BOOMS!!!, yesterday the worst… HAIL pounded us… intense rain, flooding, my friend Trevor sent me the pic on his cell phone of his car getting flooded… June is kickin our butts over here, so far.

Maybe they are trying to tell us something??… question is, are we listening?….. crazy, crazy… crazy.”
