QUOTES:
"A tornado that touched down in southwestern Kansas on Saturday caused
damage along a 10-mile stretch.

The tornado touched down five miles northwest of Kinsley and caused damage
in Edwards and Pawnee counties, the National Weather Service said.

Meteorologist Larry Ruthi, of the weather service's Dodge City office, said
the tornado destroyed five equipment buildings at one farm and lifted a
house off its foundations. Elsewhere, a stock trailer was blown for
three-quarters of a mile and an oil tank was rolled three-tenths of a mile
from its base. No injuries were reported.

The weather service also reported that a tornado touched down briefly in
Barton County, but there were no reports of damage or injuries.

There were also reports of hail across Kansas. The largest reported
hailstone, in Edwards County, was nearly 3 inches in diameter."
