Officials from the Pratt County Sheriff's office in central Kansas report two residents of Rocky Ford, Colorado, were killed in a tornado Friday night.

The bodies of 33-year-old Gary Whitlow and 29-year-old Kimberly Whitlow were found near a vehicle discovered in a wheat field off of US Highway 54, 12 miles east of the town of Pratt, Kansas.
