Photos - July 27, 2018 Storm Damage in Eads, Kiowa County

A fast-moving storm downed limbs and at least one tree in Eads Friday evening.
Earlier in the day, the National Weather Service had predicted a series of storms would impact northeast and east central Colorado with wind gusts up to 80 miles per hours and hail up to the size of baseballs. Tornado activity was also predicted.
Movie Reviews – Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again & The Equalizer 2
Two new releases topped the box office this past weekend with approximately $35 million. I’ve decided to review both.
“Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”
I’m not terribly familiar with the ABBA songbook. I know about “Dancing Queen” and of course the title song, but otherwise I just think of ABBA as that one band from Sweden that isn’t Europe (they of “The Final Countdown”). But apparently we didn’t get enough ABBA in 2008’s “Mamma Mia!” so we’re getting this sequel to meet… demand?
