THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO WITH COMPLETE DEVASTATION
LIKELY. YOU COULD BE KILLED IF NOT UNDERGROUND OR IN A TORNADO
SHELTER. DO NOT DELAY...SEEK SHELTER NOW! IF NO UNDERGROUND SHELTER
IS AVAILABLE SEEK SHELTER IN AN INTERIOR ROOM OF THE LOWEST LEVEL OF
A STRUCTURE...OR IF TIME ALLOWS...CONSIDER MOVING TO AN UNDERGROUND
SHELTER ELSEWHERE. MOBILE HOMES AND OUTBUILDINGS WILL OFFER NO
SHELTER FROM THIS TORNADO.
This is for Witchta KS Emergency. Speechless. Also reports of major flash flooding occurring in the city that is pretty deep.

1037 PM CDT SAT APR 14 2012
AREAS AFFECTED...CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 170...
VALID 150337Z - 150500Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 170 CONTINUES.
GIVEN INCREASING INHIBITION FOR WARM SECTOR BOUNDARY LAYER PARCELS
...THE PERSISTENCE OF THE PAIR OF LONG-LIVED TORNADO PRODUCING
SUPERCELLS BEYOND ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO IS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN.
HOWEVER...THE CELL NOW APPROACHING AREAS SOUTH OF SALINA APPEARS TO
BE AIDED BY AN AREA OF STRONGER MID-LEVEL FORCING FOR UPWARD
VERTICAL MOTION...DOWNSTREAM OF THE UPPER TROUGH NOW BEGINNING TO
LIFT ACROSS THE ROCKIES. THIS IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT NORTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE I-70 CORRIDOR AREA JUST EAST OF MANHATTAN THROUGH 05-06Z.
LATEST RUC GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THIS WILL COINCIDE WITH A 70 KT
SOUTHERLY 850 MB JET CORE...WHICH PROBABLY WILL MAINTAIN A HIGH
TORNADO RISK. OTHERWISE...AS LONG AS THE SUPERCELL NOW NEAR WICHITA
MAINTAINS STRENGTH AS IT TRACKS NORTHEASTWARD NEAR THE I-35
