[crissgirl99]

Who cares what siren it was but this storm was on my birthday and I had a bunch of friends over!! that was the worst birthday and a tree split in half and landed on top of my friends house and the power was out for 3 days where I live. It was horrible it was like millions of kids throwing balls of hail at us and the tornado went through my neighbors back yard it was soooooo scary!!!

[TimeQueenofRome]

I remember, I was in Denver at the time of this tornado. I witnessed a lot of spectacular lightning.

[08farmer]

I remember that day I was out working cows when that storm hit the cows went everywhere my horse bucked me off I had to run back to my truck to get away from it

[DenverCholoX3]

I was so scared that day. I was at the Mile High Flea market.

[ASYLUM227]

party alrm

[Swissflier101]

wow now waking up to that sound must be scary! nice video! we used to have thoes sirens go off but the tornado would just go around my city haha.

[AnalgesicBalm]

That sounds like Aurora sirens, unless that part of Denver has a completely different model of siren than is used in the downtown area.

i remember this night -- my best friend and i chased the storm in my brand new truck lol. littleton had trees in the road. looked like it had snowed.

[InjusticeLeague1]

I live near olde town arvada, and was out with friends when this tornado hit.

[mckuletzz]

Whelen!

[supershwa27]

I remember this -- this was the night of that crazy hailstorm. Over here in Lakewood, we were obliterated -- my house looked like it was riddled with bullets. A couple of tornadoes touched down East of us, but we were still hit with a ton of damage...5 busted windows, siding trashed, roofing had to be replaced....I had welts from the hail it was so bad (hurt worse than painballs!)

[AnalgesicBalm]

Yeah that hailstorm was a level 6 supercell that moved from the north-northwest. Downtown we just got torrential rain and flash flooding like I've not seen in over 2 decades.

[Krondelo]

Yeah I hear those sirens a lot downtown. Saw one building get struck by lightning.. it was scary, and loud!!

[luvluvluv96]

Good old Colorado! We have had a lot of tornadoes this past summer.

[chansterrrs]

i was there! i was so scared. the tornado hit my house and i was home alone. i cried haha. it was an amazing experience though. i didnt even hear the siren until after it hit.

[troglodytic]

and HOLY shit, i live in Thornton. i must have missed this.

[austingirl0499]

My dad lives 8 hours sw of Denver, I am surprised no tornadoes have hit the Telluride-Montrose-Grand Junction area.

[troglodytic]

Tornadoes over there are less common, mostly because that is a mountainous area. All of our Denver/Colorado tornadoes happen to the east.

[firealarm211]

definetley some type of whelen

[budw84]

Denver has a wide variety of sirens. I've seen some Thunderbolts and a 2001. There are also some 2001s around DIA

[sethboy12]

Whoa u can't see a thing in this video

sounds like a Whelen goin off

[whelenvortexr4]

i was about to say the same thing

[grantpic17]

man i missed this whole thing, i was too busy screwin around at bandimere this day

[ibold1000]

Yep.. I defiantly hear whelens. HA HA I live in Louchbuie Co!! (It says it on the storm radio) My aunt and uncle live pretty close to you and its infested with Whelens, its a shame.

[LouisEdmiston]

That is actually an Aurora Siren. Denver doesn't have those kind of sirens. That siren is located on Dayton Road

[Philovideo]

I noticed a siren mounted on a pole Just East of the Walmart property on Dayton Road adjacent to the JFK Golf Course. That must be the one I heard as that was the direction it came from. I live here practically on the border of Denver and Aurora, so, I wasn't sure if that siren was within the Denver city limits or Aurora.

[Philovideo]

Lous - I also went to your Youtube channel and watched your video with photos and Google Earth maps showing the different locations of the sirens in the Aurora area. There obviously are a lot of warning sirens within the city of Aurora!

[LouisEdmiston]

Ya I know, also found out that the city is planning on installling 11 new sirens in the eastern area.

[austingirl0499]

I don't know if Houston has any tornado sirens - - - I live in Houston, I noticed that Austin, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Denver has it. I used to think tornadoes would miss a major city but I was wrong.

[JohnnyDart76]

@Austingirl0499: Troglodytic happens to be right, but it could still happen, even in Grand Junction.

[habbadou]

True enough. Denver sirens are totally different. I was only in Aurora once in a tornado warning and I noticed the sirens were very different sounding than Denver's.

[dogbuddy555]

whats crazy is that i can here those sirens all the way to northglenn

[djscrizzle]

The siren(s) heard are Whelen-3016s or one of the 2900 series.

[LouisEdmiston]

2900 series

[airbear13]

man that sucks! i live in golden, colorado but im in new mexico right now and glad i missed the whole storm. our roommate at our house said that the storm completely missed golden. whew.

[goriajk]

Bill, Joe here. Man, That's scary - almost sounds like the bombs are coming, the bombs are coming =) I glad you are okay. Joe in Redondo Beach, CA (No Tornados, but excessive heat)

[Oysterbluestoday]

holy crap I thought there was a tornado but it completely missed me and I never heard a siren (I'm to the west of Denver)

[Philovideo]

Two tornados touched down briefly, one south of Castle Rock and the second in Englewood, but neither caused significant damage.

[LaneMaddox00]

i enjoy watching storms but the destruction they leave is horendos
