Unusual damage is reported after two supercell storms roar through southeast Kansas.

Harper County Emergency Management Director Mike Loreg said the wind was so powerful that it caused a train derailment near Crystal Springs. He says 15 cars were moved off the tracks.

Loreg said there has been one report of a touchdown of a rope-like tornado. There has been reports of minor damage to a few buildings and businesses. This round of potentially-dangerous weather is not over for Kansas, several severe thunderstorm warnings have been posted around the state this morning.
