PEETZ, Colo. (CBS4)- Three tornadoes hit northeastern Colorado on Monday afternoon, one was on the ground for about 13 minutes and destroyed a barn in Logan County.

Emergency officials said sustained winds kicked up nearly 60 mph more than 30 miles away from the storm.

"It started out as white, like a real cloud, and then all of a sudden you can see all the dark brown... you could tell something was getting pulled up from the ground," said another witness.
