Photographer states :: Was happy to get a shot of the daytime lightning - the hail started almost immediately after this,should have paid more attention to the green in the sky
DENVER -- A tornado touched down in South Park, Colo., Tuesday afternoon as a band of thunderstorms quickly moved across the state.
The tornado touched down at 1:20 p.m., near 11 Mile State Park. South Park is at 9,500 feet and it is rare to have a tornado hit at such a high elevation. However, it's just a testament to how strange this summer has been. No injuries were reported.
There was only minor damage at the state park, park rangers said....
