(CNN) -- A massive tornado tore into the northern Colorado town of Windsor and nearby towns Thursday, killing one person and damaging many homes and businesses, the town's mayor said.
The storm struck the town of Windsor and "several other areas" of Weld County, a fire spokeswoman says.

The funnel cloud, accompanied by golf-ball sized hail, blackened the skies over Windsor as it knocked down power lines, shredded crops in fields outside the city and blasted whole neighborhoods.
The southeast side of town was hit the worst by the storm, which began around noon, Vasquez said.
Windsor, with a population of nearly 19,000, is about 80 miles (130 km) north of Denver.
Nancy Pelosi better be careful. The last time she got that close to a tornado a house landed on her sister.
