Boulder, the town this property stands in, in 98 storm reports between 1993 and 2023: 64 hail, 15 thunderstorm wind, 13 lightning, 2 flash flood.
The reports record 6 injuries. 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.
Three children were injured, one critically, when lightning hit a nearby tree atop Panorama Point on Flagstaff Mountain. Lightning hit the tree, entered the ground, then struck the children.
A woman riding her bike in training for an Ironman Triathalon was struck by lightning. She was in the 78th mile of a 100-mile training ride when she was hit. Initially, she lost her vision and couldn't move her arms. After a short stay in the hospital, she made a full recovery.
A hiker was struck by lightning near the Royal Arch Trail, near the fourth Flatiron. She was briefly knocked unconcious. The hiker and her companion had sought shelter under a rock when the storm hit.
Heavy rain and hail triggered a flash flood which sent a wall of water through the window of the financial aid office at the University of Colorado campus. In addition, ceiling tiles, carpets and dressing rooms were damaged at the Coors Event Center when a pipe draining rainwater broke during the downpour. In all, 10 buildings at CU received water damage causing an estimate $100,000 in damage.
Flooding was occurring along Boulder Creek in Boulder where it crested. Flooding also occurred along South Boulder Creek near Eldorado Springs with flooding impacting nearby homes.
Heavy rainfall and flash flooding washed out the east bound lane of James Canyon. Overland Road was also washed out, along the west bound lane of the Peak to Peak Highway near Jamestown.
A tornado touched down near Baseline Reservoir. The tornado struck a home, tearing off part of the roof. A storage building nearby was nearly levelled and 5 trees were uprooted. The twister then moved onto Baseline Reservoir forming a huge waterspout. Several recreational vehicles and a boat dock were also damaged.
