Story Highlights
A confirmed EF1 tornado left one home severely damaged and several other houses with minor damage south of Ogden, Utah, Thursday afternoon.

A second confirmed EF1 tornado hit the southwestern Utah town of Panguitch later in the evening.

Only one serious injury has been reported in either of the towns hit by the tornadoes.


A pair of EF1 tornadoes hit the state of Utah on Thursday, leaving ravaged homes in their wake.

The first report occurred as severe storms rolled through northern Utah Thursday afternoon. Damage to several homes was confirmed after an EF1 tornado was spawned in a neighborhood south of Ogden.

The twister hit Washington Terrace just after 3:30 p.m. local time, according to the Gephardt Daily. It left one home severely damaged, while several other homes sustained minor damage and power lines were downed in the area, the Standard-Examiner reported.

One person was hospitalized with a head injury, but he or she is expected to recover, according to KSL.com. All other injuries were believed to be minor.

4. The explosion was likely a transformer.

Here is an aerial view (skip to about 27 seconds into the video) of what is likely happening in the OP's video - this video is from Dallas though:

If you have never seen transformers blow in a heavy storm, the scene is very pretty in a surreal sort of way (IF one can temporarily forget about the damage that is also present).
