Location: Brighton CO. | We've had posts of bad storms we've encountered out in the boat, every time I look at the national weather I've seen a lot of storms across southern Wis. , Minnesota, Iowa, Tenn, ECT. Is everybody doing OK? |

Location: Brighton CO. | When I posted this we've had a bad storm in Yuma east of us a few days ago where they had bad hail storm and Greely north of us had some flooding, and a Rancher in a mountain valley was killed by lighting (along with some of his Cattle) Well they have all missed us except last night, rain, wind, and lighting. no biggie! I was just watching to news and all around us got hammered with hail. I had no idea so much damage so close. Like Steve everything has missed us except the wind from being on the edge. |

Indeed... I'm currently a few miles north of you, and have been blown off the water just about every day.. Hopefully things will calm down next week..
There's some obvious storm damage on the Three Lakes Chain from 5/21 tho.

Location: oswego, il | The hail in Eastern Colorado is insane. The recent hail was baseball sized and I seen pictures where it looked to be 4" deep like snow. It takes out crops and kills livestock not to mention roofs and cars. Seeing hail damaged vehicles in that area is very common.
I drove through that bad storm that went through Madison on the Friday of memorial day weekend. Sideways rain and hail there were gusts over 60mph. |

| On Tuesday of this week, had the electrician at my place to do the annual maintenance and system check on my standby generator. Made the mistake of saying how it hardly ever has to run since they put most lines underground a couple years ago. Next day, while we were out of town, a storm blew through, leaving thousands including our place without power for about 12 hours. My neighbor says I jinxed us by talking about how good it has been since they put things underground. But the generator did its job.
I see where Nevada and Arizona are setting heat records for this time of the year. Not sure how folks deal with temps like that, other than not going outside. |

Location: Northern Illinois | The heat dome that was in Mexico killed over 50 people. That heat dome is moving NE into SW U.S. Texas to Arizona and plains. Vegas hit 109 this week. Pretty early for those temps. |

Location: Brighton CO. | After a mild May we had two days in a row at 97 degrees in the front range. How many days in till Labor Day? speaking of Vegas I don't miss driving across the desert to get anywhere when I lived in California. Nothing worse then being in a old car without AC when it's 114 in Vegas. |
