Possible tornado touches down in Osage County

We have updated information regarding a strong storm in Fairfax Saturday afternoon.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Sarah Corfidi says they are looking into whether a tornado touched down.

“We did receive reports that there was a tornado in that area,” Corfidi said.  “More than likely, someone from the National Weather Service team will go out on Sunday and look for damage and see where the damage was.  See if it’s consistent with a tornado or strong line winds.”

The fast, strong storm that swept through Fairfax did leave damage in its path. One resident reacted to seeing a semi turned over by the strong winds.

“Man, I’m just, wow!” She said.  “I couldn’t believe it.  I was just like, wow!”

There have been no reports of any serious injuries. We do know a fence at a baseball diamond was heavily damaged and drivers had to dodge several fallen tree limbs.
