Southern Kansas
Photographer states :: A small "rope" tornado spins through a cornfield just west of Highway 283 in Southern Kansas. The twister lasted for less then a minute.
I don't consider any tornado to be minor. A minute touchdown is a minute of damage. As the person who owns the cornfield.
Tornado kills 7 in Texas near Mexican border, authorities say
The storm hit about 7 p.m. outside Eagle Pass unincorporated area of Maverick County, about 150 miles south of San Antonio. It was among several storms that ripped through Texas on Tuesday.
Cantu said several mobile homes were still missing, but he didn't know how many. Two schools were destroyed, but both were empty when the tornado hit.
Officials from Piedras Negras, Mexico, across the Rio Grande, have confirmed three dead there, Eagle Pass Fire Chief Rogelio de la Cruz said.
Officials said 76 people were taken to Fort Duncan Medical Center, Eagle Pass' only hospital. Four were admitted, four were transferred to hospitals in San Antonio and Del Rio in critical condition, 32 were treated and discharged, the rest were still being evaluated, he said.
