Three tornadoes reportedly touched down briefly in southern Colorado on Friday afternoon as a strong storm band moved through the area.
Storm reports came in from east of La Junta, north of Fort Lyon and near Hasty, Colorado of separate tornadoes.
According to a storm report from Bent County, someone in a truck was directly impacted by the tornado as it moved through the county. The vehicle was lifted up and spun 120 degrees before dropping back down to the ground.
There are no reports of injuries to anyone in the truck, but the law enforcement official says the mirrors were ripped off the truck.
There are also reports of downed power lines in the impacted area.
