Denver started seeing severe storms Wednesday afternoon when heavy rain, damaging hail, and tornadoes were forecasted. We don't usually see tornadoes in the City but have had a few over the years. I know Aurora had sirens going off and had to retreat to the basement for safety. There was one that touched down out East of Denver.
Thursday Denver saw constant rainfall on Thursday and so far today, it hasn't stopped. The forecasters are saying we have seen nearly 4" of rain so far, and more to come. We have flooded roads, and some are closed. We are very arid here, so this rain is very usual. (if it was colder, we could have gotten way too much snow!)
The good part - we were starting to go back into a drought, and pretty sure this will put a good dent in it to fill the reservoirs now. We are hoping to see the sun later today!
