Residents reeling after tornados, flooding rip through Utah

People across Utah are reeling after storms ripped through state, including two tornados that damaged more than a dozen buildings hundreds of miles apart.

Thousands of people remained without power Friday morning after the severe weather that also dropped golf-ball-sized hail and flooded streets.

No serious injuries have been reported, but at least 12 homes were badly damaged by a tornado in northern city of Washington Terrance and another twister tore roofs off buildings by a twister in the southern Utah town of Panguitch.

Authorities say the cleanup is just beginning after a garage was lifted from its foundation, trees were ripped from the ground and cars were dented by hurtling chunks of debris.

Severe weather also caused extensive flooding in southern Utah and dropped hail near the Great Salt Lake
