Dozens of buildings, including homes, were damaged when tornadoes struck east of the Denver metro area on Sunday. According to Adams County, 17 structures, six of them homes, were damaged near Bennett. 

The damage includes roofs torn off homes, destroyed sheds, and flipped vehicles. The hardest-hit areas appear to be Adams and Elbert counties. 

In Elbert County near Elizabeth, residents are reporting blown-out windows, holes in roofs and debris in trees. According to the Elizabeth Fire Protection District, at least 19 homes were damaged. 

Fortunately, no injuries have been reported in the aftermath of the storms. 

"It looked like it started as a dust devil. Started whirling over there on the other side of the hill, there was no tail, so I didn't think it was a tornado until it started flattening the trees, and I saw my neighbor's building here implode, and that's when I hit the basement. Cut right through here, went right past our house, and then over the hill and down into the neighbors'. So, very close call," said one resident. 

Damage assessments will continue over the next several days and the number of structures damaged could increase in that time. 

Gov. Jared Polis posted a message on social media that Colorado is sending help to those communities hit by the storms.
