A tornado touched down in the vicinity of Kansas City, Kan., on Tuesday, as the Midwest grapples with a slew of twisters that have wreaked havoc on several communities with no end in sight.

The National Weather Service (NWS) declared a tornado emergency for the area as the storm was approaching Interstate 70 near the Kansas Speedway, which hosts NASCAR races. Officials in Kansas City said they received a report of a tornado just after 6 p.m. that was on a path toward Lawrence, a city of about 100,000 residents and home to the University of Kansas' main campus.

The NWS advised residents to find shelter.

"The heart of KC is in this tornado warning! This is a dangerous situation. TAKE SHELTER NOW!" the NWS' Kansas City office tweeted.

It was not immediately clear if anyone was hurt or how much damage the storm inflicted.

The NWS later expanded the tornado warning to include all of the Kansas City area, including the Missouri side of the city.

Tornado emergencies also were issued for parts of Wyandotte, Johnson and Leavenworth counties until 7:15 p.m., the National Weather Service said. Another tornado was spotted near Bonner Springs, the Kansas City Star reported.

The Kansas City tornado warning was lifted just after 7:30 p.m. The NWS warned people to "don't let your guard down! Hail and strong winds are still possible, so stay inside and be prepared to take shelter if necessary."

A rapid-fire line of apparent tornadoes tore across Indiana and Ohio overnight, packed so closely together that one crossed the path carved by another.;
