Windsor Colorado

When we returned from our first trip out west to find a place to live, we saw on the news in Chicago about Windsor, Colorado. On May 22, 2008 an EF3 tornado devastated the town of Windsor and many areas of Weld County and Larimer County, killing one and injuring 100 other people in its wake. The tornado was preceded by golf-ball-size hail and torrential winds which knocked over 15 Rail Road cars, vehicles and semi trucks.
Colorado does not get many tornadoes, so it was unusual to hear about this one. Today I rode my bicycle out to Windsor to see how things were going:

Many houses around the town were getting new roofs. You could hear the nail guns going off in all directions! I came upon this small shopping area on the east side of Windsor. You can read the sign, but not much is left of the stores:

Lots of trees were pulled out of the ground and thrown about.

Here just a metal frame remains.

Just the windows and everything inside this building are gone!

There are crews working to clean up the area right now.

Not much can be salvaged from this mess.

Which one was Marks Funeral and Cremation?

I think it's this one.

...or maybe that one. Oh, I don't know. According to Mark, his 8 ton animal crematorium was still intact, so maybe his business will return.

I will return to Windsor before the winter and see how its going.
