La Junta Storms

La Junta Storms is all about the deadly blizzard that came through southeastern Colorado...It came in Dec. 28, 2006 and tapered off on New Year’s Eve. Cattle were banked in, trapped in deep drifts of snow. The Air National Guard from both Colorado and Oklahoma helped out. Blackhawk military helicopters and even a C-130 were flown in, dropping over 3,000 bales of hay over the course of just a few days—during that first week of January ‘07.
