Around 5 p.m. I got home from work, and got out of my truck to feel a little heat temperature, with no wind or rain. I turned around and saw the tornado just start to touch on the ground about a quarter of a mile from my house (Eudora). I ran to the house and told my family go to the basement right away. There's no damage here.
