Finally, some rain. Two late afternoon thundershowers dumped heavy rain here and in our canyon. Unfortunately, the same rain caused flooding in the Waldo burn area, and a wall of mud and debris in Manitou Springs,damaging homes and businesses. But we needed rain, and that's the way rain most often comes to this area this time of year. |

Intense thunderstorm with heavy rain hit about 5:15 pm with gusty wind, but no hail. This same storm dumped over an inch in a short time on the Waldo Canyon burn area causing severe flash flooding in Manitou Springs. Homes and businesses flooded and destroyed. Many cars swept away. Several injuries and one death so far. Appears to be worse than the 1999 flood. |

Afternoon thundershower with very heavy rain, one inch in nine minutes. Pea-size hail starting to accumulate. This is the most precipitation for a 24 hour period recorded at this site since observations began. Fortunately, rain was not as heavy on the Waldo Canyon burn scar, so no serious flooding occurred in Manitou Springs. A couple of other light showers during the afternoon and Monday night. |
