The "classic photo because I was too lazy this week to take a new one" edition.
Yesterday we had some tornados. It was interesting. There were a bunch in northern Colorado first, and it was miserable and windy in Cheyenne. Then, about 3:30 while I was in the middle of getting a haircut, we had a tornado warning and unconfirmed reports that there was a touchdown near the local community college.
I stayed at the salon until that danger passed, then walked the four blocks to my office (in the rain--not pleasant). At that time, the weather.com for that evening was pretty funny:
Windy with scattered thunderstorms, some strong early, then mostly cloudy after midnight. Damaging winds, large hail, and possibly a tornado with some storms. Low around 40F. Winds SW at 25 to 35 mph, becoming ENE and diminishing to 5 to 10 mph.
I love that "possibly a tornado" line. In fact there was another tornado that evening about 8:30 that touched down.
Tornados are not unheard of here, but they are uncommon.
