Blog - DigitalGlobe Quickbird Imagery captured over Windsor, Colorado tornado site Posted on May 28, 2008
DigitalGlobe was kind enough to share with us some imagery captured over Windsor, CO on May 24, 2008, the day after the powerful F3 tornado went through the town, just 1.5 miles West of my office.
