Tornado Strikes Weld County, Colorado

The entire state of Colorado is closely following developments in Greeley and Windsor. A tornado which touched down around noon yesterday claimed the life of one man in a Greeley campground/trailer park who was trying to escape in an RV, but people are relieved, because the number of casualties could have been higher.

Quick thinking on the part of employees at Windmill Child Enrichment Center and the nearby Bank of Choice ensured that none of the children, workers, and bank employees were injured, according to a Denver Post story. The children were rounded up and stayed in their own building, while bank employees secured their customers as well as themselves in the vault. Providentially, the bank and daycare center were spared from the full force of the tornado.
