HUTCHINSON, Kan. — While the storms last night didn’t amount to a lot in terms of severe weather, there was just enough energy in one area to produce a very short lived EF-0 tornado.

The storm struck the town of Turon just after 10 p.m. knocking over trees and turning over a car port according to Emergency Management Director Adam Weishaar. The National Weather Service was in Turon Wednesday assessing the damage.

The path of the tornado was approximately a quarter mile wide with a maximum width of 275 yards, according to the National Weather Service.

There were no injuries reported.
