It's been a busy day for the National Weather Service following an estimated EF-1 tornado which touched down in Highlands Ranch and traveled to Lone Tree Thursday before dissipating.
Officials like Greg Heavener, a warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service Boulder, were out surveying damage following the six-mile path left in the storm's wake.
“Thinking right now winds at around 95 top speed posted in the EF1 category,” said Heavener. “The pattern helps us understand how wide it was. The damage that occurred. Also, the length of the storm where it touched down and where it lifted.”Thousands clean-up after small tornado touches down in Highlands Ranch Russell Haythorn 5:13 PM, Jun 23, 2023 Heavener said this tornado was on the ground for about ten minutes, a lengthy amount of time for this part of the state.
“I think the overall patterns are shifting, really a good part of climate change aspect,” said Heavener.
