Possible Tornado in Topeka, KS
« on: June 14, 2010, 03:16:37 AM »
Around 11:20PM 6/13 the NWS issued a Tornado Warning for Central Shawnee County including the City of Topeka.  Winds up to 85MPH were reported in Central Topeka where officals believe a small, brief tornado may have touched down.  A funnel cloud was later reported near the NWS office in East Topeka.  Sirens sounded some 25 minutes later at 11:45 as the warning was being allowed to expire, causing confusion for people.  We will know tomorrow whether an actuall tornado touched down.  I was outside most of the time watching the storm pass by and happened to catch a video of the sirens going off (again, as the warning was expiring...)
