I just watched a seg on the 5 p.m. NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams and they showed some hellacious pictures of one storm and a half that went through the Denver metro area yesterday afternoon. Three quarter inch hail? Yikes! Seventy five mile an hour winds at DIA? Double yikes! What's going on over there on the front range?

Usual summer antics in Hail Alley.

Oddly enough, my neighborhood in SE Denver (~5 miles SE of downtown) received NO hail. I had no idea it even happened until some of my co-workers mentioned it today.

Ditto Louisville. OTOH, we've had hail at other times that didn't even make the Channel 9 News, let alone the NBC nightly.

I've been surprised at how little mention there's been here on C-D of the rains and flooding we've had over the last week.

Today, (July 14), there's lots of flooding of intersections and underpasses in the south part of town - Hampden and Colorado; Oxford and Santa Fe; ramps to I-25 from Santa Fe. . .

Over the past week, there's been flooding of underpasses on the north side - around 38th and Walnut has been a major problem; neighborhoods around Jasmine north of Colfax have been deluged; Four mile canyon, west of Boulder, in the burn area after wildfires last summer, has had mudslides. . . .

The list goes on.

TV says that Denver has had over 5 inches of rain in the past 7 days.

Actually this most recent storm didn't really hit downtown at all. The bulk of it was in Centennial and S. Denver (I-25 and Hampden) areas and moved northeast to North Aurora from there. I watched the entire thing on my computer as I work from home and my house was right in the middle of it (25 and Yale) and it was crazy here! My friend who lives in downtown said aside from a bit of rain, they got nothing much today.

Where I live in South Jeffco, we've had a few storms drop rain with some of it being heavy at times. We have had no hail, no flooding, and no problems. This is what happens most of the time during the summer. It seems that all the bad storms either form to the south in Douglas County or the north in Lakewood and parts north. Interestingly, my insurance company contacted me because of all the hail claims that they've had in the Denver area, they seem to be amazed that we've missed out on all the "fun."
