Wedge tornado from last night just NW of Turon, KS at approx. 10:32PM. We were under a mile from this tornado at the time, the roar could easily be heard and was very loud.

Off and on rain chances will remain through Saturday with the highest chances looking to be Friday morning. Some snow is expected to mix-in with the rain on Saturday night. Below normal temperatures are also anticipated through the weekend. #kswx

Which "media" added taglines of "terrifying" and "devastating?" Sure was not us. We share reports from NWS chat and have our newsroom make calls to verify -- careful to NOT sensationalize. If fingers are going to be pointed, point them in the right direction. "Media" should not be clumped together, giving us all a bad name. #kswx
