Tornado in Denver
What, game developers don’t get inspired by heavy winds? Last time I checked, coders LOVED mortal danger. Just ask Hugh Jackman’s character in Swordfish.
So imagine Brian Robbins’ delight yesterday when, just as he was getting ready to crack down on some serious iPhone development, he looks out his window and sees this:
From the email Brian sent to our Ottawa team:
“Today was a typical late-Spring / early-Summer day here in Denver. We very often have beautiful days early, strong thunderstorms in the mid-late afternoon and then it’s back to sunny and beautiful before sunset.
Today was a bit different though in that one of the tornados touched down at the mall “Southlands” which is about a mile from my house. I took a couple pictures before heading into the basement.”
Luckily, his Aunt Em was waiting in the cellar with a warm batch of cookies.

I’m not sure “delight” is the right word to use to describe seeing the tornado outside. Particularly when I started seeing debris floating in the air above my house.
It was a very exciting afternoon though!

Unreal…
So glad that you and yours were OK.
