Mother Nature has scared a lot of rural Coloradoans in the last 24 hours…
(Two Yuma County Tornadoes vxr :36)
Two tornadoes touched down near Yuma, on the northeastern plains, Tuesday afternoon. One of the funnel clouds stayed on the ground for a while, and carved a path southeast, closer to Wray. Yuma Police say there was some property damage across the county, but thankfully no one was hurt. Some damage was reported done by baseball-size hail, however. Then, most of the northeastern quarter of the state had to remain alert under a severe thunderstorm watch last night and this morning. Farther south, golf ball-size hail was reported around Kiowa and Prowers Counties. Meteorologists say today should be much nicer everywhere, with calm, sunny weather expected statewide. And after a few cooler days, they predict warmer temperatures should return by the weekend.
