Storms in Denver

Thanks for checking in on us, Meimei and Miko! Yesterday was a weird day in Denver. There were microbursts happening throughout the city. I didn't know what a microburst was, but apparently they are strong bursts of wind that blow straight down and then spread out in all directions when they hit the ground. They knocked down several large trees and ripped the roof off the Alameda East vet clinic. I was worried when I left work, because I had biked in yesterday, but I was safe and sound, thank goodness. It is just hot at our house (yesterday, Denver also broke a temperature record--it was 99 degrees!). Thanks for thinking of us!

  • Yikes! Glad I didn't know about all of that going on! We had some weird weather here in WF. 94 mile per hour winds blew through and hundreds of homes and businesses in the city were without power for most of last week. They had Oncor working day and night! Many old, old trees in older parts of town were uprooted. Sad, when you don't have trees.... You be careful on that bike! Love, Mom
