WINDSOR, Colo. - Trucks were overturned and buildings were damaged when a large tornado touched down about 50 miles north of Denver on Thursday. 
No injuries were immediately reported.

A city employee in the small town of Windsor said buildings were damaged, trees were down and electricity was knocked out there, but it wasn't immediately clear if the tornado had hit the town directly.

Weld County sheriff's spokeswoman Margie Martinez said two tractor-trailer rigs overturned about 10 miles southeast of Windsor, and electricity was knocked out to some customers in nearby Greeley.
