The most comparable tornado in recent Colorado memory was in Highlands Ranch in the summer of 2023. Winds in that event peaked at 105 miles per hour with a tornado rating of EF0-EF1. An estimated 30 structures, including 17 homes, were damaged. That storm was accompanied by tennis ball-sized hail.

Dozens of homes have been damaged or destroyed in at least two Colorado counties after tornadoes swept through the area Sunday afternoon.
