What the National Weather Service wrote

A pole snapped.

The wider storm

The continuations of hail, wind, and tornadoes continues through mid-July as northwesterly upper level flow develops once again over southern Colorado. Anomalous amounts of low level moisture remain over the region due to record breaking precipitation in June and an active early July. Enhanced wind shear due from the upper level northwesterly flow created an environment conducive to severe thunderstorms.

Began near Pritchett (37.3900, -102.8300).
