"A storm produced two tornadoes in San Juan County in southeastern Utah over the span of an hour starting around 12:35 p.m. Saturday, according to meteorologist Kris Sanders with the National Weather Service's office in Grand Junction, Colorado. The paths of the tornadoes that touched down near Montezuma Creek likely covered less than 10 miles, but the weather service hadn't yet determined their exact tracks or wind speeds, Sanders said by telephone. A survey may be conducted Monday, he said Sunday."
"Three homes in the area were demolished in the storm, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren said in a social media post. The 27,000-square-mile (70,000-square-kilometer) reservation stretches into Arizona, New Mexico and Utah and is the largest of any Native American tribe. No injuries were reported, but an unknown number of livestock and pets were reported missing, the Navajo Police Department said in a social media post."
Tornadoes struck San Juan County in southeastern Utah on Saturday, producing two twisters near Montezuma Creek over roughly an hour beginning around 12:35 p.m. The tornadic paths likely covered less than 10 miles, with exact tracks and wind speeds still to be determined pending a weather service survey. Three homes on Navajo Nation land were demolished. No human injuries were reported, but an unknown number of livestock and pets were reported missing. Images showed a towering tornado column and a flattened home amid debris. Tornadoes are rare in that part of Utah, with only two confirmed there since 1950.
