When the winds picked up and the sky turned dark, I went out to take these photos.

| Scary, but awesome |
 |
| Feel like in some sci-fi movie... |
 |
| Fluffy clouds moving on out and the storm moving on in |
 |
| Beautiful, no? |
 |
| Moments before... |
No sooner had I stepped back in, then the hail started to fall—not rain, but hail, that only intensified as timed passed.
 |
| Hail/snow in June--they said it could happen |
 |
| Hail aftermath--love that sky! |
 |
| The storm, and the clouds, moving Eastward |
The street gutters turned into raging rivers…
 |
| Rivers, created by the falling precipitation |
as the wind howled, as if we were in a tunnel with a training racing through or what a Tornado might sound like.
Scary!
It didn’t last more than 10-15 minutes, but during that time we worried that either our windows, roof or doors would be damaged by the dime-sized hail.
 |
| Hail buildup |
 |
| Pure ice- great for building snow people |
That storm has passed, but another severe storm warming for our county has taken it’s place and the sky is turning ominous looking once again.

| After the storm |
Sigh—
There’s never a dull moment on the Front Range—or just off the Front Range—as our area is called.
Good thing the Legal Dude and I decided to wait till another day to go hiking up at the Snowy Range.
I’ve heard the sad news from Ohio, where a tornado whipped through and left several people dead, on graduation day.
So very sad…
I love these photographs. Thanks for sharing. We got hit by this same hail storm, too. I was too scared to go outside tho so I just took a bunch of photos from inside my window. LOL
