Just when you thought it was done, it pulls you back in.
    Another round of harsh weather swept into southwest Kansas Monday evening, this time bringing with it two tornadoes in Ford County, one near Macksville and multiple funnel clouds.
    “Every cell we saw this evening had the potential to turn into a tornado,” said Marc Russell, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Dodge City.
    Russell said one of the two tornadoes in Ford County began to develop over Dodge itself, then briefly touched down east of town.
    The other touched  down about four miles southeast of town near Fort Dodge.
    No major damage is anticipated from either tornado.
