Dear God:
Today, I am thankful for a tornado no-show.
A very rare meteorological event in Colorado: a full-blown, high altitude tornado.
Mid-afternoon, it touched down between Woodland Park and Divide (west of Colorado Springs up the mountain pass on I24), damaging the forest but missing heavily populated areas. The slow moving storm system then traveled down the pass to Colorado Springs, prompting a tornado warning for the city's central and southeast corridors.
Fortunately, we live in the northwest and escaped most of the storm's wrath. Unfortunately, Red Rock Canyon was in the storm's direct path. As torrential rain and golf ball-sized hail pummeled the canyon, we reluctantly canceled tomorrow's climbing adventure.
And, yes, we're relieved the tornado was a no-show.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
