Thunderstorms yesterday caused at least one confirmed tornado northwest of Emporia, bringing damage to the area.

 

The National Weather Service plans to survey damage tracks today. KVOE Radio in Emporia reports that a cluster of storms crossed over Lake Kahola early in the evening, dropping a tornado that damaged at least 13 units, damaged an Airbnb, demolished four garages and flipped four boats. No injuries were reported.

 

Tornado touchdowns were also reported near Dunlap and Bushong. It is too early to say whether those were the same tornado or different ones.

 

Storms also brought heavy rain and was responsible for egg to baseball-size hail in Marion County.
