Two separate tornadoes hit the Sedalia area in Pettis County on Sunday night, the National Weather Service's Kansas City office reported.

Both of the tornadoes were EF-0, the weakest on the tornado scale, with max winds of about 80 mph, the weather service said in a tweet. No injuries were reported with either tornado. One happened south-southeast of Sedalia and the other was east of the city on Highway 50.

Each tornado was about 50 yards wide. One was on the ground for about a half-mile, the weather service said, and the other for 1.22 miles.

Some residents near the tornadoes complained that storm sirens weren't activated.
