Never in my life have I experienced a storm like last night! Even when we lived in tornado-ridden Illinois, I don't think we had a storm this severe! Highlands Ranch and the surrounding towns were smack in the thick of it all, and we had overwhelming hail, lightening, and thunder that scared the bajeezus out of me all night long! I couldn't fall asleep until like 3am! Yikes! The hail was so powerful I thought for sure the skylights in our family room were going to break, and our patio, yard, and street all filled with hail and flooded with the drastic amount of rain that fell in a short amount of time. The street out front looked like a blizzard hit with a raging river running down the side!
The state was hit with 6 different tornados over the course of the night, and it seems as though we could be in for Round 2 of another terrible storm tonight!
I couldn't capture any good images myself since the weather was so severe and it was so dark, but I stalked 9News and snagged some submitted photos from viewers in areas around my house. Here is the outcome!
Lightening across the Littleton sky
I'm not sure where this was taken, but some places even had golfball sized hail!

This wasn't from our area, but it's awesome to see the stark contrast in sky - you can tell exactly where the storm wall is!
There's Highlands Ranch...smack in the thick of it all! Doppler showing how bad we were hit!
