Two tornadoes touched down near Berthoud last night destroying three homes and damaging at least 12 structures. A shelter was opened by the Red Cross at the Berthoud Community Center in the Town of Berthoud.

A tornado touched down in Northern Colorado yesterday. The National Weather Service said a weak tornado touched down briefly near Fort Lupton. We have video.

Several tornadoes blew through the Front Range Monday afternoon, including one in Weld County. We have video of a twister near Fort Lupton.

Around 2 pm Wednesday afternoon, a funnel cloud developed west of Cheyenne, just north of I-80. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning which expired before 2:30 pm.

Over the last few days we here in Colorado have been reminded in a hurry that it's tornado season with watches warnings, and even touch downs near us. Although we aren't in the Kansas, Oklahoma "Tornado Alley" area, Colorado is still very prone to produce a twister or two this time of year.

At least eight tornadoes touched down in Colorado yesterday afternoon (Sunday, June 8). Thanks to 7News in Denver for sharing the list:

Update 6 p.m. Friday, June 6: We just received word from the Weld County Sheriff's Office that a total of two tornadoes touched down in Weld County this afternoon.

Tomorrow, May 22nd, will mark six years since the day the small town of Windsor, Colorado and the people who live and work in the area, like myself, will never forget. It was the first time Weld County had seen an f3 tornado since 1950, and it's 130 to 150 mile per hour winds ripped a portion of the town apart.

The 1st severe weather of the spring hit Northern Colorado yesterday. A tornado was spotted near Platteville around 3:30 yesterday afternoon.

At approximately 2:30 PM on Saturday, August 3rd the National Weather Service began issuing statements warning Northern Colorado residents that severe storms and tornadoes were on their way. This time the projections were right on.

With all the devastation and loss of life from recent tornadoes in Oklahoma, my mind naturally goes back to the Windsor tornado a couple years ago. It's frustrating to think about all that destruction; and it's even more frustrating to think that some people think they're qualified to chase these storms, when they really aren't.

A huge tornado touched down just outside of Oklahoma City earlier today, causing widespread destruction and leaving behind a yet-untold number of casualties. To see how you can help those affected, see the list below. This list will continue to be updated...
