Tornadoes of 2001
An outbreak of eleven tornadoes hit central Kansas. While mainly most were weak, one was violent enough to be rated F4, and struck without a tornado warning being issued. Touching down just outside Hoisington, it tore a two-block-wide path through the north and west sides of town, completely destroying almost 200 homes and businesses and damaging another 230. The roof of the local hospital was partially torn off, and vehicles were tossed and mangled. The tornado caused $43 million in damage. Twenty-eight people were injured, and one man was killed by a flying vehicle.
