What I saw this day was nothing I could of ever expected. The scene was eerie, cold, and vastly different than the 80+ degree weather I left from just 30 minutes earlier. As I headed east toward Ellicot, Colorado from Schriever Air Force Base, it didn’t look like I was driving into any ordinary storm. In fact, it looked more like a blizzard and not a super cell. Something you’d expect to see in December or January. Not in August. As I drove on, I was greeted by a powerful rush of foggy damp air. Apparently, I had just missed the wrath of the storm, but I was about to get caught up in its path of destruction.
The overall scene was almost breathtaking in a way. The sky blended almost perfectly into the fog that was hovering just above the ground. In fact, there were 3 distinct levels of clouds … the sky was uniform overcast, a layer of fog extended just beneath the cloud base, and a thin layer of fog hovered about 10 feet from the ground.
