Roscoe, Mo. ? Two violent storms overnight Wednesday moved through east-central Kansas and west-central Missouri, causing property damage and a few minor injuries.

Spotters and law enforcement officials reported seeing funnel clouds aloft and some touching down, and survey teams from the National Weather Service office in Springfield, Mo., were out checking the damage Thursday to determine if it was from tornadoes or straight-line winds. Gusts of up to 70 miles per hour were reported with some of the storms.

Sgt. Brandon Vaughan of the sheriff’s department in Missouri’s St. Clair County said a tornado touched down in the small community of Roscoe about 10:36 p.m., damaging or destroying several buildings and taking down trees.

“It destroyed the fire station, broke the windows in the fire truck, tore up a restaurant, destroyed a bait shop,” he said. “One of our deputies was in town when it hit. It tore up his patrol car.”

Vaughan said only one minor injury was reported, to a woman who went to a hospital on her own.

Earlier, on the Kansas side of the state line, a tornado touched down about 9:15 p.m., damaging some houses east of U.S. Highway 69 between Pleasanton and Prescott, the Linn County Sheriff’s Department said.

Linn County Sheriff Marvin Stites said two people were injured when they became trapped in their mobile home and had to be rescued by firefighters. Neither person’s injuries were considered life-threatening, Stites said.

“We had semitrailers blown over, barns blown over, campers, power lines, power poles,” he said. “There were no warnings. This one just slipped up on us.”

Steve Runnells, warning coordination meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Springfield, said that a second suspected tornadic storm developed after midnight in Bourbon County, Kan., moving into neighboring Crawford County. A line of damage was reported from just north of Girard eastward into Arma, with large trees uprooted and pockets of minor structural damage.

Crawford County Sheriff Sandy Horton said he knew of two or three structures that were damaged and one car that was totaled when a tree fell on it. But he doesn’t know if the damage was caused by a tornado or just high winds.

“We were under a tornado warning by the weather service, and we had golfball-sized hail and a lot of wind,” Horton said. “But it’s so difficult at night for us to tell without a debris field whether a tornado touched down.”
