| Episode Narrative | Supercell t-storms developed quickly along an arc from north central east southeast through northeast Kansas during the late afternoon and early evening on Tuesday May 21st. The supercells occurred in an environment conducive to rapid low level rotation and tornado formation. At least 6 tornadoes were documented between 4pm and 9 pm during that evening. Some were longer track tornadoes with the strongest being rated an EF3. |
| Event Narrative | Tornado formed around 1-2 miles northeast of Chapman and tracked into Geary County. Formed near interstate 70 northeast of Chapman based on spotter reports. No damage reports have been received from the track in Dickinson and Geary Counties. This is the segment that traveled across Geary county including parts of Milford State Park and ended on Ft. Riley Army Base grounds. |
