One person died and three others suffered minor injuries when a tornado touched down in Westmoreland, Kansas, on Tuesday afternoon, officials said. The tornado, one of nearly 200 reported in the Plains and Midwest since Friday, was reported at 4:40 p.m., Pottawatomie County officials said in a statement. The identity of the deceased was being withhold pending notification of family, Sheriff Shane Jager said at a news conference.
County Emergency Management Director Jennifer Merrow said National Weather Service meteorologists updated county officials on the storm cell as it moved closer Tuesday afternoon. 'They did confirm it was just a matter of whether or not it was going to drop a funnel, and we had activated the storm sirens at that time,' Merrow said at the news conference.
