Tornados Unleash Elephants On Small Kansas Town
Quote:
Storms were expected to linger in the mid-Mississippi Valley into the evening and overnight, when severe weather was possible.
On Thursday, tornadoes dropped onto the Great Plains after forecasters warned of a potentially historic outbreak, causing some damage and spooking the elephants.
One of the animals entered a backyard less than a mile from the fairgrounds in WaKeeney and was blocked off by fire trucks until trainers could coax it onto a truck, Trego County Sheriff Richard Schneider said.
“I guess it got tired of walking around,” he said.
