Tornado Warning After Touchdown Near DIA, Pena Blvd. Back Open
LA JUNTA, Colo. (AP) -- Denver International Airport passengers are being told to take shelter in airport bathrooms following a tornado warning.
The National Weather Service issued the warning Tuesday afternoon for the airport's concourses and terminal, after radar indicated a severe thunderstorm southeast of the airport was capable of producing a twister.
On Monday, a tornado touched down briefly in La Junta on Colorado's southeastern plains. No injuries were reported, but power poles were knocked down in an industrial park near town. Heavy rain fell Monday in La Junta and Lamar, where some streets flooded.
