Windsor, CO

Somehow i was itching to write about Windsor. i don't know why but somehow or rather i kept thinking about it today..i miss it so bad. to those of you who have never heard of windsor, well  let me tell you that windsor is a place in Colorado.it's a small town with friendly people. it is situated near the rocky mountain and where ever you turn the rocky mountain sort of surrounds you.

there's a saying goes 'if you don't like the weather in colorado just wait for 5 minutes'. its weird but it is so true. at first i myself find it hard to believe but after a while you'll start to realize that they are not joking. seriously. it'll be hot and sunny for 5 min and raining and windy the other..

and talking about the weather, windsor was turned upside down by a mile wide tornado in 2008 (i think i got the timeline right).everyone was shocked. nobody expected it. we were all scared shitless i can tell you that.

the day started out pretty good minus the fact that the weather was dark and gloomy but everyone's reaction was just 'oh its pretty dark today eh?'

even when the hail started everyone was relaxed. it normal weather transition from spring to summer they said..the hail was small to begin with and that's why nobody was worried..for those of you that have no idea what hail is, its basically a ball or irregular lump of ice. Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds, particularly those with intense updrafts, high liquid water content, great vertical extent, large water droplets, and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing.

pebble size hail.

after a while it starts to get bigger and bigger and some even suffered head injuries.

imagine these huge golf size hail falling down from the sky.

this is when we knew that something bad is going to happen. i mean seriously, a huge ball of ice falling down from the sky is just NOT right.

everybody started to freaked out and to make it worse the phone line went dead.. yeah great. we manage to get an info that there is a huge mile wide tornado that has hit windsor. it took everyone by surprise. people started to cry, everybody was pale and compared to the commotion inside the building, it was dead quite outside. i finally knew what it was like to know that you might be a goner. 

counting that we were lucky after being hit by not one but 3 tornadoes in one day we were cleared to go back home..going back on that day suck. i'll show you why.

these are just the minor damages.i can't go near the centre zone.

windsor looked like a war zone..the houses, the trees and everything was tear apart. since then everything was focused on rebuilding the town. my regards, love and prayers goes to the town i once called home. daa~
