A tornado has touched down in the southeast region of Wyoming Thursday afternoon. The tornado was spotted west of Yoder, WY - about 13 miles southwest of Torrington.
The storm could produce gusty winds -- there's a 2% chance of tornadoes in the Casper-area. Severe hail will be the size of a quarter or bigger in Central Wyoming.
The Cheyenne Office of the National Weather Service says a tornado that touched down near Van Tassel on Tuesday afternoon generated wind speeds of up to 105 miles per hour.
When news channels began to air footage of the tornado-ravaged communities in Western Kentucky, Lyndsay LaPointe and her husband did what most of did - they shook their heads, mourned for the lives lost, and wished that they could do something to help.
