Kansas storms damage sorority, cancel outdoor symphony event
MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Strong winds and storms forced crowds who gathered in a rural Kansas field for a symphony performance to evacuate and damaged a sorority house at Kansas State University. The Kansas City Star reports that about half a dozen tornado warnings were issued Saturday evening in eastern Kansas. National Weather Service meteorologist Daniel Reese said crews were on the ground Sunday morning, working to survey the damage, including downed power lines and trees, likely caused by a combination of tornadoes and straight line winds.
