[Spridgets] MG 2009 Weather precautions

[Jim Johnson]

Mark,

I just got done doing peer review on a paper which documents a tornado in
the Sangre De Cristo range.  I've personally seen one near Estes Park years
ago. They may be rare in the mountains, but they are not unknown. I agree
though...  Hail storms east of the front range are by far the bigger threat
to an LBC. The hail gets big enough to punch holes in a rag top too....   I
just got a big check from my insurance company to cover hail damage to my
2005 Chev pick-up, my roof, 2 broken windows and new paint on the
clapboards.....

Cheers!!
Jim
