Denver is historically Thornton's true severe weather month.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

June is historically Denver\u2019s severe weather month and severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and hail are notorious visitors to Denver and across eastern Colorado during the month.\u00a0 In fact, over 40 percent of the tornadoes that occur in Colorado are observed in June and these are typically the most destructive of the year.\u00a0 Severe thunderstorms have also caused major property damage across the Front Range during the month.<\/p>\n

In just the last 25 years or so, there have been some particularly notable storms in June.\u00a0 Tornadoes have struck the metro area including one that longtime Thornton residents will recall on June 3, 1981.\u00a0 53 residents were injured, 25 homes were destroyed and 239 other structures were damaged.\u00a0 Others tornadoes in the metro area include southeast Denver and Aurora on June 8, 1986 and east Denver on June 13, 1984.\u00a0 Severe thunderstorms occurring on June 13, 1984 dumped large hail making it one of the worst and the second costliest storm in Denver history.\u00a0 More recently, on June 20, 2001, a major hail storm moved across Denver International Airport dropping hailstones as big as two inches in diameter. Damage was extensive on and near the airport.<\/p>\n
