Kansas Widespread damage as tornado tears
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued severe thunderstorm warnings for Midwest states, including Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.
In the city of Wichita, the mayor said 50 to 100 structures had been damaged, especially in the suburb of Andover.
However, there are so far no reports of serious injuries.
The Andover City Police Department says roads are blocked due to downed power lines and large debris.
Wichita Mayor Dr Brandon Whipple urged people not to travel.
"I hear roads in Andover are closed to traffic. Please stay put if you can. Lots of large hail throughout our area. Bad visibility as well for those driving," he posted on Twitter.
Extraordinary videos and photos posted online show the tornado tearing through Andover, destroying buildings, with debris flying in the air.
