Body:	<i>I wanted to share at least one piece of history from 2009 from my neck of the woods. On July 21, 2009 two areas near Judy and me were hit with a microburst. Wheat Ridge and Arvada were the two suburban towns that sustained the worst damage. I have found a 5-minute YouTube video that gives a pretty good representation of what it looked like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWl7KmSWqTo It appears that YouTube has others as well (see RH side of that page). My Mother-in-Law's house was at the center of the Wheat Ridge damage (the house is 6 miles from our house); thankfully the extent of her damage was only needing a new rooof & gutters, plus I carted away six pickup truck loads of firewood (keep us warm for a few years...) from her trees that were downed or damaged. From her property we filled about 50 large trash bags of slash and leaves. I spent a half day just clearing her roof of accumulated stuff. Many houses around her had structural damage and lots of blown out windows, paint stripped off whole north sides, fences fllattened (even a brick fence!). One historic house was crushed by a large tree and had to be demolished (see this URL for picture): http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-storm-cost-072709,0,560821.story Judy's Mom's area was without power 4 days. We worked round the clock for a couple of weeks to clear her property & make it halfway presentable. Amazingly, despite the lateness of the season, her trees began getting leaf buds after bout 3 weeks. During the interim we often picked her up to spend time with us because the sight of her town so utterly stripped bare was hard for her to see.</i> *
