Two people were injured in Ford County, Kansas, on Tuesday and taken to hospital for treatment, interim county administrator and Ford County spokesman, J.D. Gilbert, said. They were sent home on Wednesday morning, he said.
As many as six unconfirmed tornados also hit an area west of Dodge City, Gilbert said, destroying homes and a county building housing offices and landfill equipment.
Farms and ranches were also damaged, he said.
A tornado was also reported in Oklahoma, just west of Tulsa, along with severe storms in the area on Tuesday evening, Ariel Cohen, meteorologist at the NWS Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, said.
There were also preliminary reports of tornados across northeast Colorado associated with storms late on Tuesday afternoon and early evening, Cohen said.
In addition, severe storms with large hail and damaging winds hit central and eastern Wyoming and as far north as Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Cohen said.
