Tornadoes rip through Colorado, Wyoming; 1 killed Radka Konkolova
There were so many various catastrophes this month, one couldn't account. And yesterday another disaster happened. One of the natural elements attacked again. Now it was a huge and strong wind. Yesterday meant a big surprise, shock and fear as well for secure residents of inland countries of the United States. The air started to swirl and some tornadoes were setting.
Tornadoes touched down in areas near farm towns in the North of Colorado and South of Wyoming. Some of these towns were hurt very badly. The most stricken is probably Windsor, about 16,000 farm town. But also other towns approximately 50 miles north of Denver, as Platteville, Johnstown or Loveland were hit too. Even town in Wyoming as Laramie and Cheyenne.
It had to be horrible for those people because almost the whole property of theirs, especially shelters, is gone. According to reports there were flowing roofs and parts of houses also crumpling farm equipment and power lines were downing, so about 60,000 people remained without electricity. The whole Interstate 25 was closed for few hours after the storm and some parts of state Highway 85 were stopped for a while.
People could see the huge dark gray funnel approximately quarter-mile wide accompanied with heavy rain and hail. Many people are thanks that injured but it is not known how many of them are hurt and how seriously. It is still in the state of detection. But the medical personnel has said, that they had got all types of injuries caused by flowing objects, splinters, debris, falling trees, or broken glass. Anyway, although it seems very bad, according to my opinion it could be more worse, but maybe I am false. I think no as many people lost their shelters but certainly there are some of them, who lost everything, or almost everything. Even at least one person was killed, but Weld County Sheriff refused to say how was he killed.
Also the northeast of Colorado was warned about the tornado, but the were no reports about it from this area, fortunately. But there were some reports from Laramie, Wyoming,where two schools and Wal-Mart were probably damaged by the storm. Also Interstate 80 between Laramie and Cheyenne was closed for some time because of turned over vehicles on it. So people have besides sorrows another work with getting away rubbles, over turned cars and other waste...
