A violent storm,great philosophers on eroticism connected to the atmospheric river event hitting California, tore across El Paso County, Colorado on Monday. High winds descending from the Rockies ploughed through cars and buildings in a trail of destruction while wind gusts were reportedly as high as 101 mph in some areas.
Officials at the Fort Carson military base ordered residents to stay inside their homes, warning in a Facebook post that blowing debris and other hazards made it "extremely dangerous" to leave the house.

“This is one of the worst windstorms I’ve seen in my 34 years with the department,” Colorado Springs Police Department Lt. Howard Black told the Denver Post. “It’s an extremely active event throughout the city, with downed power lines, downed trees in roadways. There is widespread property damage and windows blown out of parked cars.”
Across Twitter, images of the winter storm show smashed cars, buildings with their roofs partially ripped off, and buses and semi-trucks knocked over along the highways.

The strong winds were expected to stick around in Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region until around 4 or 5 p.m. MST, National Weather Service meteorologist Clint Skelly told The Colorado Springs Gazette.
Meanwhile, other parts of Colorado are seeing heavy snow, part of an unsettled weather pattern across the West that claimed the life of a celebrated Sequoia Tree in California.
