Over 20 Tornado reports so far.

Very good rotation with that one. Or at least I think. As far as I know, you've got rotation when the green touches the red, but sometimes there is a lot of green touching a lot of red, and there isn't actually rotation. So who knows. I've never quite understood how to read those velocity maps.

New tornado watch extends into East-Central Kansas.

City of Geneseo getting hammered right now with 70dbz (probably hailing there) Tornado still on ground.

Same cell with slice through. Langley Kansas should take cover.
