Crosier Mtn x 2, hail, and tornadoes

It's been a while since we've updated the blog, although there have been plenty of things going on out here in Windsor, CO. And before our first significant hiking excursion of the year these events need to be posted.
Crosier mountain was hiked twice, each time from a different trailhead so the scenery was different. Here are is a picture from the top.

Most significantly Windsor experienced an F3 tornado on May 22nd. Our house suffered relatively little damage compared to houses just a half mile away that were completely destroyed. Most of the damage at our house was due to hail ranging in size from golf ball to baseball size that lasted nearly 30 minutes before the tornado went through. Even a month later we still have divots in the yard from the hail. On the right is a picture just as the wind was picking up.

And some video of the hail, before the window broke and it wasn't fun to watch anymore.

few more pictures from after the storm. Tucker loved the new lake in the street.

Check back soon as we're headed to the mountains for some camping and hiking this weekend!
