Pottawatomie County officials confirm one person was killed when a tornado hit Westmoreland, Kansas late Tuesday afternoon.
Emergency officials say the damage is “extensive.”
"It took the north half of the town. It really did," said Sheriff Shane Yager.
At least 22 houses are destroyed. Authorities say the northern part of the city was hardest hit, and is where the fatality occurred. They have implemented a curfew to keep people away from the damaged areas. Power will be restored as safety allows.
In addition to the one person killed, three people are hospitalized with injuries.
