Looks like Manhattan, Nebraska City, and Omaha are going to get hit with either large hail, high winds, tornados, very heavy rain or a combination within the next 5-60 min.

..and Wichita City. In fact the line approaching Wichita is so massive that there's no way that area will avoid damage.

[Bunkertor]

Indeed, there are two lined organizing. OK - KS and SD - NE

[Melissa]

My news says rotation right over Wichita. Be safe everyone

Sirens going off in Wichita.
