Five tornadoes were reported yesterday evening in Texas and Kansas (map). Below are radar images from near the time of this report: "Near Ensign, Kansas: CHASER REPORTED TORNADO ON GROUND FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES." A blog reader pointed out that some storms were really trucking -- one at 80 mph, according to the NWS.
