MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — The National Weather Service says straight line winds, not a tornado, caused nearly $10 million in damage in Riley County during the weekend. The weather service office in Topeka said winds exceeding 100 mph around and in Manhattan Saturday night did not have the rotation to be classified as a tornado. Riley County officials said preliminary assessments found 41 residential and business properties were damaged, with 20 properties sustaining major damage and three homes destroyed. The weather service said four EF1 tornadoes touched down in Marshall and Pottawatomie counties on Saturday night. No serious injuries were reported from any of the storms.
