At least three tornadoes touched down Sunday afternoon southeast of Denver between the towns of Castle Rock and Parker, but somehow managed to twist dangerously by new housing developments.

National Weather Service meteorologist Carl Burroughs said Sunday night his office was trying to confirm whether a fourth tornado made it to the ground.

The thunderstorms also unleashed a sudden deluge of rain and hail on several subdivisions.

"It was like it snowed during and after the tornado," said Stephen Klein, 15, who lives in the Sapphire Pointe subdivision with his family about a mile-and-a-half southeast of where the tornado touched down. Klein, his mother and two brothers headed to the basement after a neighbor alerted them of the twister.

The storm also triggered a spectacular lightning show around Douglas and Elbert counties.

Clouds and dark skies lingered throught the evening. (more at link)

I'd prefer to think of it as the wrath of God.  :evillaugh:

God needs to go to the range more often, his aim is getting off a little lately.

And there is still 4 more days of the DNC convention to go. Maybe the volcanic fault in Yellowstone could be next?

Am I going to go to Hell for laughing at that?

Sorry, but I can't answer that for you. It's above my paygrade.
