Severe Thunderstorms Spawn Damaging Tornadoes in Kansas, Illinois

Severe thunderstorms impacted the Midwest Friday evening, spawning a tornado that caused injuries and destroyed residences in a Kansas city.
The tornado leveled a small number of homes in what The Kansas City Star reported is a sparsely populated area of Hillsdale Lake, Kansas, around 6:30 p.m.
“Scattered thunderstorms fired ahead of a frontal system across the Midwest and central Plains Friday afternoon and evening. The storm that caused a tornado near Paola formed on the southern end of a line of storms, where the air mass was particularly unstable,” said weather.com meteorologist Quincy Vagell. “Other storms further northeast across Illinois caused flash flooding due to intense rainfall over a short period of time.”
