The storms passed through the Kansas City area Tuesday evening, producing strong winds, heavy rain and hail.
In Indianapolis, the National Weather Service says at least two tornadoes hit south of Indianapolis on Tuesday night. Scattered damage has been reported and more than 4,000 people are without electricity.
Don't they have some kind of lightning diverter for those tanks?
