The 1900 windstorm in Colorado Springs, occurring on November 21st, was a significant event that caused widespread damage throughout the city. It is remembered as a day of terror and was considered by some to be the worst storm in Colorado Springs history. The storm brought gale-force winds for ten hours, reaching 82 mph on an instrument at Colorado College before it disintegrated from a vicious blast. It caused significant damage to both public and private property and blew down many trees that had been planted soon after the city was established.
