In the central third of the Nation, the main story was a severe weather outbreak across the central High Plains. Thunderstorms erupted across the High Plains and the Front Range of the Rockies during the afternoon and several of these became severe quickly. Impacts included tornadoes, large hail, and damaging wind gusts. A large tornado killed a person at the Greeley RV Park near Greeley, Colorado. The twister made a direct hit on a State Farm Building and tore the roof off of the Swift Company building. The tornado was estimated to be three quarters of a mile to a mile wide. Another tornado moved through eastern and northern sections of Laramie, Wyoming. The storm caused damage to a local Wal-Mart, the High School, and several houses. Another twister injured a person near Buford, Wyoming.

I am studying the large hail and tornadoes that struck the front
range of Colorado and Laramie ridge area on May 22, 2008.
There was golfball size hail 6 miles west-southwest of Bufiord. There was a tornado near Buford also that did some damage.
A porch was destroyed and LUMBER FROM ONGOING CONSTRUCTION OF NEW ADDITION LIFTED UPWARD at 
1222 pm MDT. 

Can you refer me to anyone living near Buford so I can document the largest size hail that fell? Did you father get large hail on May 22?
Did anyone see the tornado? I doubt it because there were
low clouds and drizzle that afternoon with temperatures
in the lower 40s and winds from the northeast at 50 mph.
