QUINTER -- Sherry Mann peered out of her trailer home at a "big ol' black cloud" Friday night. She yelled at her husband, Phil, and with five dogs, they headed to their storm cellar.

Within minutes, a tornado destroyed their home, pens and a brooder house where they raise game birds on 200 acres.

The Manns' home was among 12 in the Quinter area that were either damaged or a total loss from tornadoes Friday night. Thursday night, a another six met the same fate, said Pappy Lies, Oakley, the emergency management director for Gove and Logan counties.

An eastbound car on Interstate Highway 70 was picked up by a twister and carried 90 feet across the highway and dropped in a drainage ditch with 18 inches to three feet of water. The driver, a man, suffered a punctured lung, Lies said. One rural resident was hit by flying debris and spent the night in the hospital at Quinter.

A shelter was established in Quinter, where 20 travelers spent the night. Up to 150 tornado victims are expected for dinner Saturday night.
