A tornado that barreled through parts of Kansas destroyed or damaged dozens of homes and buildings, injured several people and left more than 6,500 without power, officials said on Saturday.
Officials said the suspected twister moved though parts of south-east Wichita and Andover on Friday evening. The Andover fire chief, Chad Russell, said early on Saturday morning 50 to 100 buildings were damaged in Sedgwick county, though it was not immediately known how many buildings were damaged in Andover.
Russell said in some neighborhoods homes “were completely blown away”.
Officials said only a few injuries had been reported. In Sedgwick county, three people were injured, including one woman who suffered serious injuries.
