New Flurry of Twisters in Hard-Hit Kan.

May 5, 2007 12:51PM PDT

A fresh wave of tornadoes ripped through southwest Kansas on Saturday evening, a day after a tornado all but destroyed this town, killing nine and injuring dozens more.

The National Weather Service said it had received reports "well into the double digits" of twisters touching down in six counties.

Among them were a series of half-mile wide "wedge" tornadoes _ similar to the one that devastated Greensburg on Friday night, meteorologist Mike Umscheid said.

"We're going to expect quite a lot of damage," he said.

Earlier, emergency crews called off the search in Greensburg for victims as the weather deteriorated again.

Umscheid said the slow-moving storm system would likely to spawn severe weather early into Sunday morning.

"It looks like it's going to be another long night," he said.

Rescuers had spent the day hurrying through the wreckage from Friday night's giant tornado, which left little standing beyond the local pub.

Friday's weather was blamed for nine deaths in the region, a figure authorities feared could rise even before the latest twisters.

KNG hasn't the usual disaster equipment available because of Iraq/Afghan wars.
Washington's response: 'Get it from other state NGs.'

Remember "guns and butter" from Econ 101?
