<br />Storm Characteristics and Information
<br />
<br />Obtaining rainfall information and storm characteristics for the event in Vail was difficult.
<br />Since the storm occurred right between various seasonal storms, most contacts could not
<br />separate defining traits of this specific storm. In addition, since this storm was minor and
<br />the damage associated vvith this event was attributed to the combination of several factors,
<br />not just the thllllderstorm, facts about the storm itself were not fOlllld.
