It was a rare sight for New Mexicans on Thursday afternoon, as a tornado touched down in Eagle Nest.
The National Weather Service confirmed the tornado caused damaged, but no injuries were reported.
A hay barn was destroyed and an RV was knocked over. There were also reports of a damaged transformer and downed power lines.
There have only been a total of 19 tornadoes reported in Colfax County since 1950, according to NWS.
Crews from the NWS will be going out to further survey the damage and determine the strength.
