See it: Drone video shows devastation in Plevna, Kansas, after violent nighttime tornado

PLEVNA, Kan. – New drone video shows the devastation left behind in the small city of Plevna, Kansas, after a nighttime tornado tore apart homes and ripped down trees early Monday. The tornado-warned storm was part of a severe weather pattern that has brought more than 100 confirmed twisters since last Wednesday.

The tornado touched down around 11:50 p.m. Sunday north of the city of Turon before hitting Plevna just after midnight, according to a release from Reno County Emergency Management.

Officials said homes and utility lines were destroyed, but people heeded Tornado Warnings and no one was injured.

Video shows buildings completely destroyed, others with roofs torn off and cars crushed by debris.

The drone videographer, Steve Chadwick, said the video was taken immediately after daybreak Monday.
