Hard News Explication

Dana Ford's  "Tornadoes tear through Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa" is a hard news article about multiple tornadoes that ripped through three different states, causing massive damage to homes and surrounding areas. The first tornado, seen southwest of Wichita, Kansas, was described as "large, violent and extremely dangerous." The second tornado was seen near Edmond, Oklahoma and "another tornado was seen outside of Luther, Oklahoma but it was not immediately clear whether that was the same twister." The third tornado touched down near Wellston, Oklahoma, "taking out power lines and damaging several homes." More tornadoes were spotted in various places, causing damage all the same. Luckily, there have been no reports of immediate deaths or injuries. According to meteorologists, "Baseball-sized hail, wind gusts and tornadoes are threatening to pummel parts of the central Plains and Midwest through Monday."
