See it? lmao I watched it form, hit the ground, then chase me back into my house. I also watched it disappear. The temp was 70, dropped to 58, then after went back up to 67. hahahaha
wow. thats nuts.. i sure as hell saw and heard the hail and wind/rain.. first thing that came to mind was tornado, but i was like NAWWWWW not in ABQ. there was about 4" of hail built up at my apartment door and the people on the lower level apartments got flooded a bit. a few trees in the parking lot were knocked over, a couple were like 20 feet tall. one of our car-ports roofs collapsed (not mine thankfully) first thing i was thinking when i heard and saw the hail was, 'SHIT, my car is gonna get messed up', so i went to open the door and it had to be ~60mph winds or more, i could barely shut the door.. then my next thought was 'screw the car, im not getting pelted in the head with 1/2-3/4" hail' we went to the mall after the storm and there was a ton of big branches down everywhere.
Glad your whip was unharmed. I learned that a Tornado touched down at the Sandia Motorsports park as well.
Dang Ron...glad to hear you are OK.......you need to move to the mountains...we are fairly safe from tornados except for a corridor running up hwy 11w to Bristol...
WOW!!! That sucks. At least it looks like you made it out pretty well. All that damage don't look too bad...considering other tornado damage pics I've seen.
Thanks for the concern Kevan!! :hug: The 10 was with me... (at work)... just had a lot of rain and wind. Very little hail....
All the buildings are still intact...though I can imagine it was scary for you Ron. Sorry, grew up in Twister country....The big ones sound like trains. :fear:
Sitting here in amazement, looking at the pictures, Ron. I'd send my roofing crew right over but don't think Farmers would approve. Seriously, it must have been exciting and terrifying at the same time and we're both glad you guys are fine.
I thought this was some kind of BS post! I'm glad everyone is ok... That is just nuts how you saw it like that (lucky you did). The amount of hail... Omg! I didn't know abq got twisters ! I hope the insurance takes care of you! If you need a place to stay, Ryans garage is setup to accomodate 75! Anyway, good to hear no one was hurt pal.
damn i thought its was crazy out here in northern meadows, but whoa i guess i was wrong. those are some crazy pics.
I'm starting to re-think my return trip though NM..... Seriously, glad nothing serious happened....injuries and what-not....
