At least seven tornadoes Thursday night swept across Kansas, damaging homes and buildings and uprooting trees in several counties, but there were no immediate reports of any deaths, and just a few injuries.

Two people were admitted to Allen County Hospital in Iola after being hit by debris from a tornado that passed through neighboring Woodson County. June Reynolds, the acting hospital administrator, said neither was seriously injured.

Six other people were treated for minor injuries, she said.

Three people were taken to a hospital in Garnett after a tornado hit Anderson County, in far eastern Kansas, the sheriff’s department said. Their conditions were not available.

Tornados were reported in 28 counties Thursday night, said Maj. Gen. Greg Gardner, the state’s adjutant general and director of emergency management. An initial assessment conducted by the National Weather Service concluded there were at least seven tornadoes, said meteorologist Mike Akulow.

Osage County Sheriff Ken Lippert, who lives within a quarter-mile of where another tornado touched down, said there were reports of homes and barns destroyed but no injuries.

In Woodson County, the Sheriff’s Department said eight houses were destroyed and 20 damaged in a rural part of the county near Yates Center. Homes were also damaged in Linn County.

The National Weather Service said straight-line winds were suspected of causing a train to derail in Chase County, where authorities closed a stretch of U.S. 177 and evacuated residents because of spilled sulfur dioxide.

The two people on the train were not injured, said Lt. Bruce Hyman of the Kansas Highway Patrol.

An unidentified family friend of Thomas and Norma Guilford surveys the devastation caused by a tornado that touched down southwest of Lyndon, destroying the Guilfords' home. No injuries were reported in the area from the Thursday tornado, one of several across Kansas.
