WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Strong winds sweeping across Kansas have overturned a tractor-trailer, blown down a fireworks tent, toppled trees and caused electrical outages.

The National Weather Service reported hurricane-force winds of more than 80 mph Thursday in the Wichita area. The storms followed another round of severe weather Wednesday.

In Sedgwick County, emergency crews rescued the tractor-trailer driver who became pinned in his rig when it overturned on Kansas 42.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2008 Sterling Semi driven by Michael S. Kennedy, 56, Wichita, was blown off Kansas 42 at South Hoover Road just after 8:30 a.m. Kennedy was  transported to St. Francis Medical Center.

Further west in Goddard, a fireworks tent was blown down along U.S. 54.

The winds also blew down numerous power poles. Westar Energy reported more than 2,000 customers without power in Sedgwick County. The earlier round of storms left several thousand without power in in Ellis and Russell counties in western Kansas.
