4:53Now PlayingRichard Hansen, from Plattville in Weld County, describes what he experienced during a tornado that touched down Monday afternoon.
The tornado appeared to be a landspout tornado, and it touched down shortly before 5 p.m. on Monday. The tornado appeared to lift around 5:30 p.m. near Platteville.
According to Weld County Emergency Management, one home was damaged by a downed power line that led to a fire.
The tornado appeared to track roughly 14 miles across Weld County, starting just north of Frederick before tracking towards Platteville.
A landspout tornado is a twister that forms from the ground up due to colliding air boundaries during the initial growth stage of a thunderstorm. These tornadoes form near the ground and move toward the cloud, as opposed to traditional tornadoes that form from the cloud moving toward the ground.
