TORNADOES IN, AROUND BRUSH DESTROY HANGAR

- — Denver Post staff reports

Three tornadoes struck late Sunday afternoon within a five-minute span at different locations in and around Brush, including one that destroyed a hangar and overturned an airplane.

Trees were uprooted and power was interrupte­d, by what the National Weather Service confirmed was one of three EF2 tornadoes. No injuries or deaths have been reported by authoritie­s.

At Brush Airport, an airplane hangar was destroyed and an airplane was flipped over on top of another plane, said Todd Dankers, meteorolog­ist for the National Weather Services in Boulder.

“It was quite an active cell,” Dankers said Monday. “It could have been one very big supercell that created a line of tornadoes.”

The first tornado was reported at 4:48 p.m. Sunday, the second at 4:49 p.m. and a third at 4:50 p.m., Dankers said.

Residents were instructed to clear branches that are blocking streets to allow cars to travel without obstructio­n.

The tornadoes knocked out electricit­y to water well fields.
