Tornadoes rake Kansas-Nebraska border
Updated at 7:38 a.m. Eastern
NORTON, Kan. - Four Kansas family members have sustained minor injuries when a tornado destroyed their home. Violent storms also have knocked over freight train cars and halted play at the College World Series in Nebraska.
CBS News correspondent Don Teague says there were at least two dozen reports of tornadoes touching down across the Midwest - from Nebraska and Kansas on to Iowa.
Sharon Watson of the Kansas Adjutant General's office says at least three homes were destroyed Monday afternoon in Norton County near the Nebraska border. The injuries reported were minor cuts and scrapes.
In total, reports Teague, officials at least five homes were destroyed - but those numbers were expected to rise as the sun came up and the damage could be more closely surveyed.
Sirens began blowing about 8 p.m. CDT at the College World Series in Omaha. Fans began filing out immediately, and the game between Vanderbilt and Florida was eventually postponed until Tuesday due to inclement weather.
In central Nebraska, the York News-Times said one of its photographers reported several freight cars were knocked off the tracks Monday evening on the outskirts of town.
