Window on northside of the house blew out due to wind and hail.

The wider storm

Residual moisture from an incredibly anomalously wet June continues to moisten the lower levels aiding in ample amounts of instability. The northwest flow pattern created a lot of shear, which led to prolonged 3 day severe weather event over adjacent and eastern plains of southern Colorado.

Began near Las Animas (38.0700, -103.2400).
