CASPER, Wyo. (AP) - A tornado touched down in a remote area near Casper on Friday.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

The National Weather Service says the tornado was reported at 1:38 p.m.

The National Weather Service suspects the tornado touched down briefly the first time and for about two minutes the second time it contacted the ground.
