Posted May 02, 2022 4:02 PM

Geary County did not have any damage reports from tornadoes or hail following the storms that passed through the region Friday night. But Garry Berges, Emergency Manager, noted that it was a little bit of a crazy evening for everybody. "They had two touch downs of tornadoes over in Dickinson County, and seven funnel clouds were sighted during that storm."

Berges informed the Geary County Commission that the county was under three tornado warnings. "The first one came right to the edge of  the city limits. That's why we blew the sirens for the city limits because where it was at." The second warning extended farther into Geary County, Junction City, Grandview Plaza and Milford. Another storm tracked through Herington, near White City and traveled along the county line area.

Spotters and law enforcement were out watching during the storms.
