BELOIT, Kan., April 25 (UPI) -- A tornado touched down in north-central Kansas early Friday morning, taking the roof off a farmhouse.

Another farm about three miles away was hit by a tornado 11 minutes later, The Wichita Eagle reported. Meteorologists were unsure if the same twister touched down in both places or if there were two tornadoes.

The storm also brought 80-mile-per-hour winds to the area and hail more than 4 inches in diameter, a little bigger than a softball.

No injuries were reported. But the tornadoes damaged both farms, destroying an outbuilding at the first as well as damaging the house, and ripping up a shed and uprooting trees and downing power lines at the second.

Both farms are north of Beloit. A tornado was also reported touching down late Thursday night in Stockton, about 40 miles to the west.
