Tornado damages mall in Aurora
A tornado touched down Sunday afternoon near the Southlands Mall, causing extensive damage. Windows were smashed out, a brick wall was flattened, debris was scattered and at least one car was overturned in the mall's parking lot. Kelley Strandberg, a woman who was in the T.J. Maxx at the Southlands Mall at the time, says employees ushered the shoppers into the store's bathrooms for safety during the tornado.
Strandberg says she smelled gas as she left the mall, and windows were smashed out. Xcel Energy says crews are en route to deal with multiple leaks but add they are not positive the leaks are in their jurisdiction. Sherry Monson, a woman who was shopping at JC Penney, says windows were broken out of the store. When she got out, she says her car was "decimated."
A second tornado touched down in Adams County, near 106th and Navajo. According to reports from the scene, the tornado went through pastures, damaged a couple of barns and knocked over a couple of RVs. No livestock or people were hurt. 9NEWS Meteorologist Marty Coniglio says rain and thunderstorms will be scattered about through the afternoon. Isolated funnels and hail up to marble sized are possible. Highs should range from 65 to 70 degrees.
Denver International Airport says it's under a thunderstorm watch until 5:30 p.m. They say they are aware of the funnel clouds, but no delays or cancellations were expected.
