Well, it has certainly been an interesting day here in northern Colorado, but I am pleased to report that we are all OK. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out with your phone calls and emails to check on us -- I am truly touched and appreciative of your sincere concern.Just before lunch today, a large tornado touched down in the middle of Windsor, Colorado (where my parents live) and then the same tornado touched down a few minutes later near the Budweiser Brewery close to Wellington, Colorado, which is less than 1/2 mile from where I live. While we both sustained some minor property damage, both my parents' and my house made it through the storm relatively unscathed and most importantly without any injuries. However, since their house in Windsor is expected to be without power for 1-2 days, they are temporarily staying with us, so that is the best place to reach them if you need to make contact.
Unfortunately, not all of our neighbors and friends were as lucky as us (click here to see the path of the tornadoes). The majority of the damage occurred in nearby Windsor, CO, where over 100 injuries and 3 deaths were reported. I ask that you keep our community in your thoughts and prayers as we continue to assess the damage. Please click here to see details and video on 9 News, our local NBC affiliate.
