  • The one cow in farmville tipped over.... utter devastation

  • i live here in widsor, i hated when this hit. it was huge. everyone was scared! i was

  • I was there, I was heading up to go to windsor high school to see where my friends new school was, and that sucker crossed right infront of me. I remember hiding out under some weird bridge.

  • the choice of music was nearly as damaging as the tornado

  • Hey do you guys have Tornadoes near Highlands Ranch? I was considering buying property there- I'm in Southern California LA County. I was trying to find the best possible place to raise my family. However, I don't want to be near any sort of Natural Disaster areas. Do you guys have Tornadoes? Earthquakes? Floods? And what about Crime? I know you're close to Denver- is there a bid Drug problem? like Meth? And how is it? do you like it? how do you like it out there?please write me back thnx

  • @shaneslifestory HIghlands Ranch has a lower probablility for tornados. As far as being near natural disaster areas, everywhere can end up being one. I;m not sure about crime rates or drug use rate for Highlands Ranch, but I do believe it to be better than Denver itself. I love Colorado. The only other area I really loved living at was Seattle. I've been to LA and San Diego. I like visiting, but that's about it. Try and come out on a vacation if you can. See Colorado for yourself. :)

  • @shaneslifestory It's not normal for them to have tornadoes but, the schools are not great. Having said that Colorado is a great place to live.

  • @shaneslifestory Wouldn't want to live where there are natural disasters... so you live in southern CA where there are more fault lines than anywhere in the continental US? I'm confused. But Highlands Ranch is as clean and safe as suburbia gets, so good choice if you don't want to deal with LA-type crime.

  • Hell, I was IN that sucker. NOT FUNNY.

  • There should not be an apostrophe in the caption text, "the lives of its people".

  • I remember driving past that shit five minutes after that hit. I was wondering what happened because i saw a fucking semi tipped over. Scary stuff.

  • the tornado was half a mile from my house. a quarter mile from my school.

  • me too and in 2nd grade

  • i was in this

  • 3:05 3:05 3:05 !!!! THATS MY OLD DAYCARE LADY'S HOUSE!!! TOATALLY SMASHED!!!! AND MY DAD IS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND HEEE TOOK THIS PICTURE... HE TOOK LOADS OF THESE PICTURES. THANK GOD MY HOME HAD MINOR DAMAGES!!! <3

  • I was on a feild trip that day and when we got back to berthoud 10 miles west there was a HUGE funnel cloud over my school and on the way back to school we saw the tornado on the road it was so freaky

  • i remember this my friends grandma got hurt in this tornado

  • i remember this i was walkin home on my lunch break, i go to Longmont high. anyone else?

  • @wi101ZE

    So.. What type of house to you live in?

  • @loadquicker

    2 story and my roof tore off and all my windows broke and my room is on the top floor so all my stff got ruined

  • i was in fucing school when this happened me and my friend were frecking out

  • I was in school too... I cried for the 45 minutes with my friend when we were under the warning. Luckily, no one at the school was hurt. It was one of the first destructive tornadoes we have had in Colorado in years.

  • @luvluvluv96 which school?

  • I was born in boulder but now I live in washington but that is huge damage I saw the fort collins tornado

  • i live in wndsor and it sure was a great start to the summer NOT!!! four weaks with out power and a wreck of a town

  • dude your gay my fucking roof got torn off and a third of he town lost everything  they own you dick

  • i lived in longmont at this time. we were having lunch when we were told by our principle to go back to class. my teacher then told us there was a tornado warning. i sat in my desk very scared like everyone else. it was cloudy and cold outside. i then heard tornado sirens outside. it was a very scary day.

    i got no lunch. :(

  • I was in Longmont too! We were in lunch when the sirens went off. It was at my old school, T.P.C.A

  • @luvluvluv96 i was also outside to

  • Ugh, that was one crappy week for me...Tornado on my B-day and a broke collar bone the next week...Wish I would have waited another month to move to Windsor...Bad timing

  • I remember the power going out at the house I was at and stepping outside when the hail started pea sized then when I got home was golfball and larger. You could reach out and touch the clouds they were so low. You could feel the warm and cold air circling around you and pulling you.

  • i was walking around that day right b4 the trnadoe hit i was at school and the power just died i was the only 1 who wasnt crying

  • that day was just devistating. I remember that day very well, my mother woke me up, telling me that there was a tornado possibly heading our way. I live in fort collins, about 10 miles from windsor, so it was pretty close. I could actually hear the sound of the tornado. It was a very eerie sound.

  • I used to play paintball in Windsor.

  • WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not me !!lol

  • that was a scary day

  • my idea is,make a titanium house that is heavy.make the heaviest house that tornadoes wont suck ya up or make a deep underground

  • time to stop building disposable housing.

    how smart are you when you live in an area of tornado and build a cardboard house...the same as the idiots that build wood houses in a forest...stupid people =stupid government

  • It really don't matter where you live, a tornado can happen anywhere at any time. Just ask the folks of Atlanta and Nashville.

  • It's amazing that with the devestation there was that only one person was killed and even more amazing is 130 children, not including staff were in attendence at the Windmill Daycare which suffered a direct strike from this tornado. Can't say that wasn't a miracle!

  • I guess God was watching over them.

  • this was pretty crazy i was driving on a road and was there like 5 minutes before it hit goin into greeley. I had no i dea what the hell was going on

  • lol cat woman down the screen

  • most hellish day of my life i live in windsor and actually saw the tornado

  • i almosted died in schoool its was a nice ay than bang a random huge tronado comes out of nowhere

  • do u go 2 whs cus i do

  • I used to

  • craziest day ever! it was nutz! responder that night! o ya! man and we thought there was just gonna be rain lol

  • wats it like being in or near a tornado as it scares the shit out of me but i only ever seen 1 tornado but lucky it never touched down

  • hellish but there was only 1 death i actually was happy there easily would have been more if it wasnt the last day of school

  • je balhaar

  • Man- I remember this day, we could see the tornado on the horizon from my house. We were bugged that it could swing our way but thankfully didn't. I still feel horrible for all the people and business affected. 2008 was a wild year for Tornadoes in Colorado here.

  • skater horse! my roof was gone in that tornado and i lost some things that can never ever replace and now im atually crying right now at this moment! i lost picture albums i almost lost 6 cats! it took 6 months 2 repare my house and now my house is completely different! i ish i could just have my old life back! now my best best best friend is moving now just becaouse her uncle owns her house and her uncle doesnt have the money 2 repare the damage so now im losing my bff! ;(

  • damn im so sorry for all of you guys who got affected by this tornado. bad tornado, BAD!

  • My house got hit :'( its fixed now though

  • skater horse you know the houses that got wiped out mine was one of them luckly we had insurance but it still hurt losing everything insurance cant repay

  • Aw man that sucks. My house was still standing and stuff but the roof was destroyed and our for sale sign dissapeared lol. At least they're working on the damage now

  • Mine as well. Type "man vs. f5 tornado" into your search bar to see a falsification of Windsor tornado footage. The vid portrays the twister as a Kansas storm and the men in the golf cart(who were saving a stranded woman)as idiots who died. The video ends w/ "LOL". I'm sure you'll agree that no one was laughing, especially not those who knew the man that DID die. Find the vid and post your rage if your feel the same.

  • Wow omg! Thats so sad.. What happend to your stuff and all? And where were you?

  • My family and I were living in Loveland at the time, but we know a few people that were affected.

  • it was a mild ef-4 oh ya type in man vrs f-5 tornado on the search video there is a guy out there making up a lie saying this tornado was in Kansas and sersiously disrepecting me and our town for my house was hit by this tornado i have declared war on that video and i need your help to bring it down and to make sure that liar never does that agian

  • wow this guy is a jerk this was in my home tome of windsor colorado may 22 2008 i got out of school sick and the tornado was heading right for us i got in the basement and survived our roof was gone and our whole right wall and right side was gone this guy is a fag for leing for saying it is in kansas and those people died please help me bring down this video and if you want proof that this tornado was in colorado check my top ten favorites and see this guy lieing

  • the guy who died actually wasn't in windsor, it was a park outside of Greeley, it's not really even clear if it was the same tornado.

    good choice of music. guy i know in windsor, his house is the only brick one the block, and was the only that didn't get really fucked up. all the houses around him were declared uninhabitable at least until repairs were done. smart little pig.

  • i live in windsor and actualy some houses are toateled and a few dont even have windows broken

  • my aunt and uncle live 1 mile away from there in greeley

  • my grammar is bad but idc dont comment on it pl3xzz

  • heh.. the tornado went right over our school as we were being released on the last day. it was about 11:15ish.. it was awesome xD the dmg was bad though all the cars outside were totalled.. they didnt show my school in the vid but its like 3 blocks from those train cars.. it only sounded like hail when it went over us. but it was a 1337 experience. i dont live in windsor though so i dont really know what it feels like to be stripped of my home.

    so feel sorry for you that lost theres.

  • I'm in Littleton, Colorado....my heart goes out to all those people in Windsor. What a terrible tragedy...I was glad the death toll was only one, it could have been so much worse based on the size of that thing.

  • I live in Windosr too... Luckily my house wasn't hit... My best friend's was though... but he's fine. When the tornado warning started, I was at Eastman Park and when I got back to my school I was nailed in the stomach by hail!! I got a welt!!!

  • oh shit 1:45 my moms daycare work. Car was totaled. News Crew (9) fucked up the story.

  • From our backyard, my mom could see the tornado forming in Windsor! and we live in Longmont. The tornado warning came at a bad time for me because I was in the middle of having lunch at school. I was still very hungry, but that was for our own safety.

  • I saw that house at 2:54 as I was driving through Windsor. All of the damage is so sad :(

  • i live in windsor and we got tshirts that said survivor on may 22 i dont know why i said that i just felt like it

  • 2 of my sisters were in the group that came from Boulder to help, I hope they helped you!

  • Do you know anyone who died?

  • i live in windsor too and there was only one person that died and idk what his name was. i saw the actual tornado while i was at a park with my grade. it was soooo scary!

  • no only one person died but i heard he was in a park its weird

  • We live in Greeley. It went straight over our heads, past us. Then it hit Windsor. I had the cams out, but not that much happened here, in Greeley.

  • Hey this is Danny Elfman isn't it?

  • Yes it is! It's from Serenade Schizophrana.

  • end of days

  • i live in milliken colorado.

    this was sooo scary!

    isnt it creepy,

    7 tornadoes hit in one day in colorado.

    and 7 tornadoes hit in one day in LA on "the day after tomorrow."

    wieeeerrd.

    that was probably one of the scariest days of my life.

    its a miracle that only one person died.

    my condolenses to his family.

    :(

  • I have seen bigger ones in florida!

  • i voluntter at the damage site every week since the incident i live about 2 miles away from the hit so its pretty convientent

  • its so bizarre that there were 7 of these in CO. whens the last time we've really seen that much tornado activity here. last time i saw something even close to this was like 10 years ago. haha. bummer for windsor though. hope everyone there makes it through. i could see some of the clouds from my house

  • what was this tornado ranked? My guess from what I can see is either F3 or F4.

  • It was rated as a F3.

  • May 5 2008 storm hits windsor at 12:00.

    5 + 22 + 8 = 35 - 12 = 23

    Straaaannnngggge.

  • I've added another update in the info box.

    Thanks

  • sorry to all the people prayers to all of you out there

  • aww my prayers and my heart goes out to all the people out there its the way the world is now from the mo-town er's in canada

  • i lin in loveland. ive been out there everyday since helpin out. The funny thing is, it happened on my bday. Yeah...I asked for world domination but got a natural disaster

  • hey this is crazy i went through this all it was infront of my house

  • I feel the pain!! I live in Laramie, Wyoming and my house suffered some damage from the tornado that hit here, the same day as the Windsor tornado.

  • stupid americans, why are their houses made by wood if there are tornadoes every year

  • that was the worst tornado in windsor and there is never one every year & they weren't expecting this to happen

  • Um, what would you build your house out of that would withstand 200 mph winds? Brick? Lots of those houses were brick. Grow up.

  • There are tornados all over the world, and most of the time it doesn't touch any houses. When a tornado can take something flimsy as a straw and impail it into a tree, nothing can stand up to it, not even steel.

  • Thanks for a nice job! Living here-- I thought the newspaper(s) did a lousy job of showing photos and the first thing I did when the power came on (Sunday night) was to look for Youtube Videos and I appreciate yours.

    I am blessed and fortunate that on my part of Walnut Street, there was no damage but my heart goes out to the townspeople who were not as lucky.

  • Glad to hear everything is ok and that you have power back on.

    Take care.

  • In the info box I've posted some updates as I get them.

  • I was pretty lucky I was in Estes Park with my class we were eating lunch and someone said that there was a tornado and I didnt beleive her but then a chaparone husband called and said the tornado went right through their house then everyong started freaking out and crying and it was soooo scary I feel sooo bad for the ppls houses that were ruiend

  • I just can't believe it.... I used to live in Greeley. Now I'm in Denver and it hurts me so bad to see all this.... =(

  • i was in that storm! my school was on lockdown untill 6:00pm. it was scary! lucky my house didnt get much damage

  • what school

  • so yeah i live in windsor, the tonrnado went right over my house, the only power i'm getting is from a gas generator...this just suck two of my friends house are completely gone! i barely made it to my basement before my house windows were shattered. Ugh i'm a lucky one!

  • Lucky people were at work and school otherwise this could of been alot worse.

  • i was in school when this happened and it went by my school in Ft. Collins course its right by I25

  • Coooweee you have alot of bad weather there in the States. Do you have to build a new house every season? that could be expensive.

  • It seems that way some times.

  • I grew up in windsor. I am out of state going to school. when i got the call my heart dropped. I called my parents and couldn't get ahold of them. I'm leaving tomorrow to go home and help them out. This breaks my heart. I am still in shock that this happened. I'm so glad that everyone is ok. I'm praying for the families in windsor. Windsor is a great town with amazing people. if any place can pull threw this its windsor. Everytime i see look at the pictures i can't help but cry.

  • I hope everything is well. The power is out in Windsor, so it can make it hard to get a hold of some one. I found out an old school friend of mine lost her house.

  • Hearing your comment makes me cry!!! I was in school when it hit, I thought I was going to die. All my love and hope goes out to you all

  • that tornado went right over us!! it went up and dropped back down a few hundred yards away. but our friends family lost their entire house... they dont have a place to live and are taking refuge with family and at the ranch. the whole thing is just so hard to grasp.. their house and their work are totaly gone... they have to start all over

  • Great shots duffy! (was there any damage to the play house?

  • I saw some footage, which was included in this video and it looked like it wan't touched. I talked to one of our board memers about an 1 hour ago. Her husband is on the city board and he looked at it and said there is very little or no damage.

  • Crap! I was in school about five min away when this happened. I was scared. So no, I was really close but I'm okay!

  • This is HORRIBLE. I had heard about it,but not seen it. I just watched the video someone took from thier car... CRAZINESS and I feel for all of you in Colorado.
