Thank god they are ok. my sister was taking her two sons 5 and 3 to get a haircut in the next town when the tornado rolled through town. I just got a call from my bro in law that she is ok. they were hiding in the basment of the barber shop.

well Windsor is a bit north of Thornton and then boulder is in a valley of sorts so you would not have been able to see it anyways. but they have video of it and I guess from what I saw the thing was a 1/2 mile wide.

My sister said the town was leveled when she came up from the basement. I heard that she was crying all the way home due it being so tramatic. Which is understandable.

now if I was there I would let the tornado line up next to be and I would luanch the bitch and see who wins. I feel that with my GT35R, fully ported head, AEM EMS. I would stand a chance. I also think that if I hit 88 mph my flux capactior would kick in and I would be in the future. Me and Michael J fox would be kicking it in 2025 with a F'n Evo 36 with quad turbo's and 6 BOV's (none that leak of course) and I would be at 10765 lbs of boost but still only be able to hit high 12's. but that's if I was there.

Well you know that the higher you go into the future the less effecient turbos get!

Glad to hear your family is ok. That bitch touched down just south of Cheyenne and then skipped over us. Now it's sunny and calm with lot's of hail and rain on the ground! I've been watching TWC and they have vids of Windsor...lots of homes destroyed.

i went through 3 hurricanes in one month back in 2004 when i used to live in florida, that shit was not fun. pretty crazy how the alternators (?) in the light posts on the street would blow up and make a huge explosion. the house i was in had this garage that was covered in all sides but one, so i would walk there and sit outside while watching all the shit flying around. the weirdest thing was how calm everything would get right after the hurricane had passed

Thanks fellas. She is here now at the house cause they have no power. She was saying the hail was the size of basballs and while the storm was happening or just beofre it all of the people in the barber shop were at the window saying "wow this is some crazy hail and then it started to fly sidesways and then it got bigger and then it just stopped and it got real quiet. Then the wind picked up like crazy and thats when I flew by in the Evo. I had a few car lengths on the bitch of a tornado.

Josh you do know ur turbo wasnt working in its efficey range when u did this, due to all the extra air flowuing by, you were actualy slower.
