Tornadoes Destroy Homes As Storms and Floods Sweep Colorado

Violent storms across Colorado have swirled into tornadoes that destroyed homes, popped open a sinkhole that swallowed a police cruiser and dropped so much hail on a Denver neighborhood that residents had to dig out of waist-deep ice with shovels. Forecasters warned Friday that more severe weather and flooding was on the way. The National Weather Service placed the eastern half of the state under a tornado watch and posted flood advisories in the north. No serious injuries have been reported from the storms that raked areas from Fort Collins in the north to Pueblo, nearly 180 miles south.
