Our Pin~on (Pinon, Pinyon)Pine in our front yard had at least half of the needles broken in half by the hail that night in 1985. It all started with a tornado warning and then one single raindrop and then another, and it built up slowly for an hour and then reached a deafening roar. We got 3 inches the first hour and then 3 more inches in the next two hours or so.

When K-Mart said we could leave, it took us a while to find open roads to get home to the south side. When we got home (county) it had rained a lot here but nothing like in town - just about like a few days ago, August 5. Town got a lot and we had some rain. I think you're right about that 2.02 inches. Another day this week, we got lots and lots of rain but the airport reported none - within a few miles of each other. It does happen that way sometimes.

Yes, I was here in 1985. I didn't know that about the strange fog in Holiday Park. That's quite interesting. The evening that happened, my husband and I were at K-Mart on Pershing. They wouldn't let us leave. I remember just before it hit, we were traveling through town and that cloud was about the ugliest looking cloud I ever saw. I "felt" like something bad was going to happen and it sure did.

I once said in a 1985 letter that Cheyenne's weather continues to be predictably unpredictable and consistently inconsistent.
It still does now but now we rarely have thunderstorms and when it rains it lasts for hours or longer (when it rained in the 1970s it was always from a short thiunderstorm, about 10 minutes or so with lightning and large hail, and then it was dry again). We just had 2 months worth of rain in one hour on Tuesday, August 5 (T2008Aug05). Dewpoints were 61F or much higher.

Well I did for a long time but I simply cannot breathe when we get any cold fronts or precipitation. If it is a dry cold front I do alright sometimes though I think. Relax, a cold front is coming today, and we have at least 300 cold fronts and about 3 warm fronts per year I have noticed. Seriously, watch the weather on TV every day and you will see this.

Yes, and I say that rents and mortgages should cost a lot LESS (are you EVER listening, real estate people?) in areas with high crime or loud noises. WHY are they charging so much for places where the quality of life is not what they would EVER live in themselves? A house should NEVER cost more than say, $20,000 tops I say, especially when it is in a high crime or high wind or railroad/highway/airport noise area. When real estate prices drop 90% more, THEN people will buy houses.

There was 6 feet of icewater with hail in it and water up around Big Boy's, the 1,208,750 pound steam (one of the world's largest locomotives) locomotive's, wheels, as well as a strange fog in Holiday Park. It was 90F or more and this bizarre fog was in the park due to the deep icewater there, the next day.
Were you here then too?

It was the eleventh (I think they said) highest precipitation for a day in the city's history. Cheyenne was founded in 1867. It was 2.02 inches for the storm, one hour. Correct me if this is not correct.
Nw I saw the 6.06 inches we had on August 1, 1985, and it was 3 inches the first hour. There was 13 feet of hail on Pershing Boulevard west of Converse; it had washed down there. Pershing was only one lane wide for traffic for a week or so in 90F temperatures.
