While Mother Nature brings many beautiful things to our country, a few others are absolutely terrifying. Tornadoes are among the most dangerous of the latter, and sadly, people in Bennett, Colorado, are suffering from them. One brave Redditor, however, captured the moment when a tornado touched down on the city, and after looking at the picture, it is one of the scariest things out there. Unfortunately, this tornado left a trail of destruction in its wake, affecting many Colorado citizens.
User whatamidoing_onreddit is the one who shared the horrifying picture. According to them, it shows the exact moment when the tornado touched down on Bennett. According to KOAA News5, at least 10 homes were damaged or destroyed by the tornado. The tornado touched down three times, damaging many domiciles in its wake. Most of the damage happened in Adams County, with at least 19 damaged homes in Elizabeth Town.
So far, it seems that the damages were only of the material sort. There were no reports of injured people from the tornadoes, but the authorities are still cautious if more tornadoes touch down in the following days. Also, many communities are experiencing power outages, and authorities have urged people to head to the Bennett Recreation Center for assistance and information.
While many were shocked by the tornado, others with keen eyes noticed one of Bennett’s most irresponsible parents. If you look closely at the picture, especially on its left-most side, you can see a male with a small kid next to him. While it is uncertain if the person was trying to see the tornado or escape from it, having a child in that situation is extremely careless.
The OP provided a bit of context regarding the kid situation, though.
“Oh yeah, people didn’t care, there were kids still riding dirt bikes as well lol, but it was quite far away, so we knew we were safe.” – whatamidoing_onreddit via Reddit.
Hopefully, the people of Bennett and all around Colorado will enjoy some peace right now. While there’s some rebuilding ahead, it is reassuring to learn that people came out unscathed.
