ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — A sudden burst of severe weather swept across the eastern plains Saturday.
The National Weather Service in Boulder said a tornado touched down between Roggen and Strasburg Saturday evening. There were also multiple funnels.
A Tornado Warning was issued for part of Adams County at around 5:30 p.m. Another was issued for parts of Adams and Weld counties just after 5:40 p.m. Both warnings expired before 6 p.m.
A number of 9NEWS viewers sent us photos of the twister.
9NEWS meteorologist Laurann Robinson said it was classified as a landspout tornado. That term is actually a nickname for a tornado that forms without the help of a rotating thunderstorm. Landspout tornadoes are usually pretty weak and only do minor damage. They are also sometimes called non-supercell tornadoes.
There have been no reports of damage or injuries.
