A storm produced two tornadoes in San Juan County in southeastern Utah over the span of an hour beginning round 12:35 p.m. Saturday, in keeping with meteorologist Kris Sanders with the Nationwide Climate Service’s workplace in Grand Junction, Colorado.

The paths of the tornadoes that touched down close to Montezuma Creek probably coated lower than 10 miles, however the climate service hadn’t but decided their precise tracks or wind speeds, Sanders mentioned by phone. A survey could also be carried out Monday, he mentioned Sunday.

Three houses within the space have been demolished within the storm, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren mentioned in a social media put up. The 27,000-square-mile reservation stretches into Arizona, New Mexico and Utah and is the most important of any Native American tribe.
