HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A tornado that touched down in south-central Kansas during a severe thunderstorm damaged at least two homes, but no injuries were reported.

Reno County emergency specialist Evan Seiwert said the tornado was reported three miles southeast of Nickerson on Monday evening.

Todd Strain with Reno County Emergency Management says power lines were also down.

Reno County-Hutchinson Law Enforcement says one home may be a total loss, and another sustained damage to a roof and garage. Authorities also said two roads were closed in Reno County because of tornado damage.

Strain said sections of Reno County received up to 3 inches of rain. The National Weather Service canceled a flood warning for Reno County on Tuesday morning after floodwaters began receding.
