No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Heavy produced flash flooding in and around Milliken to west of Windsor. Storm totals in these areas ranged from 2.5 to 5.0 inches. Several road closures were in place due to standing water.
Torrential rain and hail produced flash flooding in and around Greeley and Windsor. The storm produced widespread flooding and inundated crops, county roads and city streets. Numerous roadways were closed due to flood waters. One woman had to be rescued when she was trapped in her vehicle by 3 ft of rushing water. Several homes and basements were flooded when nearby ditches overflowed.
Both the Cache La Poudre and South Platte Rivers crested over a foot above flood stage. In Greeley, 6th Avenue was closed due to flooding. The water levels forced the closure of Weld County Road 53. The waters also flooded some nearby homes and farmland.
Heavy rain, up to 2.4 inches, produced flooding on O Street, west of Weld County Road 33. In Windsor, extensive street flooding inundated homes and stalled several cars; forcing numerous road closures until the floodwaters subsided.
A small tornado touched down a damaged a tractor trailer. In all, up to 9 non-supercell tornadoes developed along a boundary that stretched from around Denver International Airport to near Barr Lake, in central Adams County, then extended into south central Weld County.
Microburst winds flipped over 2 metal barns, or lean-tos, and tore the siding off a nearby trailer. The barns were lifted 4 feet off the ground and blown 6 to 8 feet. No one was injured, but a dog received a broken leg when one of the barns flipped over on him.
Thunderstorm winds broke eight-inch-diameter tree branches in Windsor (14 miles southeast of Fort Collins). Also, heavy rain filled a roadside ditch in Windsor, and eroded 25 feet of gravel roadway. Heavy rain flooded the basements of two homes in Jamestown (31 miles south southeast of Fort Collins). Thunderstorm winds, estimated at 60 mph (52 knots) broke tree limbs in Jamestown.
