Vehicles Damaged In Tornado Near Hartsel

HARTSEL, Colo. (AP) ― Park County sheriff's officials say a tornado damaged vehicles and turned over two boats at a campground near Hartsel, but no life-threatening injuries have been reported.

The tornado hit Saturday afternoon.

Sheriff Fred Wegener estimated about five vehicles were damaged, including a motor home and pickup truck with a camper that overturned. He says another camp trailer was "completely obliterated." Other vehicles had damage such as broken windows.

He says injuries were limited to cuts and scrapes, and everyone is accounted for at the campground.

The campground has 24 spaces. Wegener says the complex was about 80 percent full. Campground officials say they had no warning of the tornado.
