Wednesday's windstorm brings widespread damage to Salina, as well as to the entire state of Kansas.
Severe thunderstorms, tornado watches, blowing dust, highway closings, power outages, uprooted trees, and more plagued Salina and the surrounding area for much of Wednesday afternoon.
Grassfires were also a problem, as crews battled wind gusts as high as 82mph (confirmed by National Weather Service) and dust-filled skies.
KHP and local emergency crews also responded to numerous vehicle accidents, as the wind reportedly blew countless vehicles off roadways, made even more dangerous by low visibility due to the blowing dust.
