Denver Post Puts Together Nice Interactive Graphic on Tornado History in Colorado

News Link
Gives a very good representation of where tornadoes have happened. There are a few minor errors in the database. The map shows an F3 tornado near Fowler Colorado on October 20, 1953.  There is a tornado in the NOAA database for this location and date but it was never confirmed nor classified. A tornado shown as an F4 in the very southeastern corner of Colorado on May 18, 1977 was almost entirely in New Mexico and may have just crossed the state line at an unknown F rating. The article states that 3 people have been killed by tornadoes since 1950 but the total is 5 - 2 were killed near Holyoke in an F3 tornado on June 27, 1960.
