Thanks Deb.  Falina, we don&#39;t get them a lot where I live, so that was why we didn&#39;t even think about it being a tornado when the winds kicked up.  Hwoever, I live about 10 miles from Weld County and they have more tornadoes than any other county in the U.S.  We were really surprised when we heard that on the news a few weeks ago, as we assumed that would be somewhere in Kansas or Oklahoma, but I did a search on it and found it on Wikipedia that it is indeed Weld County.
