Large wedge tornado strikes parts of Wichita [View all]

WICHITA, KS (KCTV) - Damage has been reported in parts of Wichita after a tornado struck late Saturday night.

The Boeing facility is among the areas in which damage has been reported. Most of Wichita is without power as many residents huddle in their basements.

An emergency has been declared.

Initial reports indicted the airport had been damaged but that turned out to be unfounded.
