At least one massive tornado swept through part of Kansas on Friday night, leaving a trail of devastation in its wake.

Video posted to social media shows the large twister on the move, as well as damage to the roofs of multiple homes and cars near Andover, a suburb of Wichita, according to Weather.com. Local authorities warned residents to stay put and take shelter, citing large debris and downed power lines in the area.



There were also reports of golf ball-sized hail in a thunderstorm system that passed through the area soon after.

“All severe weather hazards will be possible," the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said in a bulletin. "Destructive wind gusts may ultimately become the more widespread hazard across south-central to eastern NE and north-central/northeast KS."

A local YMCA where people were taking shelter was reported to be severely damaged.
“The Andover YMCA suffered significant damage as a result of the storm that hit the Andover area this evening. We are thankful that all of the staff and members that took shelter at the branch at the time of the storm, were not injured. The branch will be closed until further notice. We will keep everyone updated as details become available," the Greater Wichita YMCA said in a Facebook post, according to the Wichita Eagle.
It was unclear as of press time if there were any injuries anywhere else in the area.
