So... there we were... all comfy, cozy on the couch watching a movie when our little guy, Gus, needed to go... outside. So, I took him out, and happened to notice just how dark it was outside, and it was only 1:00pm. We have had lots of storms lately, so we just thought, oh well, another stormy Sunday. Well, it progressively got darker and darker, and started to rain/hail/blow like crazy and then we checked online and sure enough, this storm was actually turning into a tornado, about 5 miles away from our apartment. My first thought was, we need to get into our closet right now (that's the safest place in our 3rd story apartment). Josh's first thought was, we need to go out and get the video camera from our car to catch what was going on. So, can you tell what we ended up doing? HEHE.
It was crazy to see that from our balcony. When I realized at that point that it was moving away from us I thought it was cool :) We stood outside and watched for a little while, and then decided to come back inside. My phone rang, and it was one of my coworkers, who lives about 5 miles from us. She wanted to make sure we were okay because she and her husband were just leaving their apartment, that the tornado was right above. They were fine, and the apartment was fine, but their windows in their car were all smashed, and they were just trying to leave the area. SO crazy. I had no idea there were tornadoes in Colorado, let alone 5 miles away from us!! EEEKKK.
Glad we were all safe :)
