MAJOR, MAJOR DAMAGE’  “We’re trying to evaluate the situation, but on the surface it looks like 20 percent of the town has major, major damage,” 

HOISINGTON, Kansas (CNN) A tornado cut through this Kansas town Saturday night, killing at least one person and injuring 26.

LP Storm (or LP Supercell) - Low-Precipitation storm (or Low-Precipitation supercell). A supercell thunderstorm characterized by a relative lack of visible precipitation. Visually similar to a classic supercell, except without the heavy precipitation core (Fig. 5). LP storms often exhibit a striking visual appearance; the main tower often is bell-shaped, with a corkscrew appearance suggesting rotation. They are capable of producing tornadoes and very large hail. Radar identification often is difficult relative to other types of supercells, so visual reports are very important. LP storms almost always occur on or near the dry line, and thus are sometimes referred to as dry line storms.
