August 18 looked like a fairly marginal day for supercells. However, a deviant moving storm developed south of Limon, CO and moved southwest enhancing its shear to the fullest extent. This storm produced COPIOUS amounts of hail over southeast Lincoln county that destroyed every crop, tree and building in its path. Hail fell for about 40 minutes and ranged in size from quarter to golfball. Check out the photos below.
Sunflower crops were destroyed. The damage was tremendous!
The core shows this is a serious storm! Hail piled up to half a foot deep!
Driving along, the hail is deep and hard to drive on. Hail fog covers the deep hail fields.
Hail to golfball sized. More tremendous crop damage.
Shelf cloud of another advancing storm. The scene looks more like a winter storm!
Hail completely stripped the trees bare. A car gets stuck in the deep hail and flooding rains.
