Is Denver now waterfront property? If not, does anyone care to explain the 80 to 90 mph winds around the house, shaking the two upper floors for about three hours in the middle of last night? No? No, I can’t either.
What I know is that I’ve lived through cyclones and hurricanes and this was one of the scariest wind events TM I lived thorugh — comparing pretty well to Hurricane Hugo in North Carolina.
Given that, we came through with incredible luck. As far as we can tell no roof damage and no windows broken. Branches fell off our trees but none of them on the three cars we had parked outside, or even on the neighbor’s car parked under our tree. The total damage is a glass “screen” door beaten to pieces, (pieces removed from frame, glass to be replaced as soon as I can make it to store) a small-tree-sized-branch dropped from a tree (inches from neighbor’s car) and a four foot section of our fence.
Branch is cut, bits disposed of, driveway swept clean. Fence and door to be repaired this week.
And now I’m going to go shower and try to write, feeling the luckiest woman alive.
According To Hoyt 
It was the ideas. They were annoyed with you for denying their existence, even in jest …

Report from Old Colorado City: I not only slept through the storm, and slept through the big tree across the street falling, I slept through the city crew getting there early and sawing it up! Must have been blocking the street.

Glad you guys got through it ok. Looks like if any buildings around here are vulnerable to that power wind, they would have gone off to see the Wizard sometime already in the past hundred years.
