The National Weather Service has confirmed a series of weak tornadoes across rural parts of northwestern Kansas and a county in southwestern Nebraska along the Kansas line.
The tornadoes hit Tuesday afternoon as a line of storms moved across the Plains. National Weather Service meteorologist Ed Holicky out of Goodland, Kansas, says spotters and video confirmed separate tornadoes in Decatur, Norton and Gove counties in Kansas and an one in Red Willow County in Nebraska.
Holicky said there were no reports of injuries or damage from the tornadoes. The system brought gusty winds, heavy rain and some hail, leading to downed tree limbs some roof damage across the region.
Severe thunderstorms moved across central and south central Kansas into the late night hours, and there were reports of high winds and quarter sized hail. Winds in Wichita and Sedgwick County were reported at 60 miles an hour. There was a report of a tree falling on a home in the 800 block of West Dayton, but there was no property damage and no injuries were reported.
Evergy reported around 4,500 customers without power in Sedgwick and Saline counties. There were still a few scattered outages in Wichita on Wednesday morning.
