We had some really big rain storms in Colorado yesterday. On the news they showed a picture of a Denver street. There was water flowing down it like a new river-The 'Denver River?' Some little boy was swept away by the water.

All of that is headed east. This is the wettest spring I have seen for a very long time-maybe ever. And we may get more today.
 
Mystic, looks like it's headed for the Motor City !!
We have storm warnings issued already. Here it comes

We barely got anything up in the Springs. You sound like a weather junky Mystic; I storm chase as a hobby; you should head out with me sometime with some of the other CO chasers. You haven't seen a thunderstorm until you get into position to view the business end of a large tornadic supercell thunderstorm!
 
We just left behind the coldest April in 10 years, and it's been really nice the last few days. A bit of rain will be good for the grass.
 
Drew99GT, over the years I have seen 3-4 tornado funnels. One I saw just south of Pueblo-it never touched down to the ground. I saw another that was actually sideways in the air when I was south of Pueblo and returning home. There was a huge amount of hail and wind.

Over the past few years there was a small tornado (that I never saw) that damaged RV vehicles about a mile from my house. And last year we watched a tornado forming west of my block. The people on my block and I were getting ready to go into the crawl spaces or basements of our houses. But the tornado went to the north of us. I saw it on the ground plus another funnel cloud that never touched down. The tornedo damaged the roof of the house of a brother-in-law of mine.

It was an incredible sight watching the tornado form. The clouds were moving various directions very fast and there were strange greenish and bluish colors in the clouds.

Several years ago there was a big tornado up near Denver. One of my nethews was working at a store and the tornado went right over the store.

"...Los Angeles is experiencing its driest year on record...The last time it was remotely this dry was 1924, when 2.5 inches of rain had fallen...Right now, Los Angeles' rainfall is more than 9 inches below normal..."

Send some this way. Fire season is gonna be a bad, long one for us this year.
 
That really was a big storm front wasn't it? They may have tornados even in the northeast! Hopefully the fires in New Jersey will be put out by all of the rain.

Please send it to Oz, we are running out of water.

Yep, there's next to none out here. Orange Council are sending more water to a gold mine, while imposing increasing restrictions on their residents. Power stations all down the eastern coast are suffering damage due to poor water quality. The farming belt are being cut off from irrigation.

Oz is near disaster, and the answer is "we'll just import food"
