Greely Tornado
A tornado ripped through Greely, Colorado, killing one
A storm tore up Northern Colorado yesterday.
The storm moved north-northwestward through or near the towns of Platteville, Milliken, Greeley and Windsor. Television footage showed homes and buildings with roofs missing and farm irrigation equipment crumpled.
Windsor, a farm town of about 16,000, appeared the hardest hit. Video footage showed a dark gray funnel perhaps a quarter-mile wide near Windsor with heavy hail and rain.
Splintered wood, mangled metal and other debris cluttered roads, yards and agricultural fields. About 130 children at a daycare center in Windsor were reported safe after the storm passed through; playground equipment outside the center was damaged.
"My house is gone," said Pete Ambrose, a caretaker at a Weld County park outside Greeley. "I lost my dog. I lost my cats. I lost my camper. I lost everything."
A number of strong storms have touched down in the Midwestern part of the country in recent months.
