The tornadoes are quite unusual in this part of UTAH, the Weather Service Office in Grand Junction, Colorado, told the Associated Press the National Service Bureau. Sanders said the weather service only confirmed two since 1950.

Two tornadoes developed from a storm in the County of San Juan, in southeast Utah, for an hour from 12:35 p.m. on Saturday, according to Sanders.

The tornado paths that attracted near Montezuma Creek probably covered less than 10 miles, but the meteorological service had not yet determined their exact traces or their wind speeds, said Sanders by phone. An investigation can be carried out on Monday, he said on Sunday.
