August 2018 Weather in Longmont, Colorado

Weather, yesterday, 10x speed because this is my first time and I don't know how to edit videos! (be gentle)


At 5:15:50 that's me trying to race the wifes car into the garage, had to abort the pizza run I was on! This was a deluge of mothball size hail and slightly larger, and my vegetable garden is destroyed.

Wow! That's some serious weather.
And the wind even blows the run-off uphill.

We've only lived in CO for about 1 year, but some family that's been here 20 years says its definitely top-5 worst hail they've seen in their time here. Also driveway is downhill, and left-to-right is a slight downhill as well. It sounded like someone was taking a baseball bat to the car about a mile north so I whipped around and headed home. Bad day for insurance companies today I suspect.
