Rescue workers in Kansas searched for people Thursday among the wreckage left by tornadoes that ripped through the Midwest on Wednesday night. Two people were killed as tornadoes swept across Kansas, destroying 60 homes and damaging another 60, officials reportedly said. A man was killed outside Soldier, about 50 miles north of Topeka, said Sharon Watson, a spokeswoman for the state emergency management agency. His body was found outside his mobile home, she said. A woman was killed in Chapman, Kansas. Her body was found in a yard, Watson said. In the wake of the late-night destruction, authorities sifted through rubble on the ground and used infrared technology in the air to locate survivors or bodies. “It’s so difficult to account for everyone in these types of situations,” Watson said. “It can take some time, unfortunately, for the search-and-rescue process, especially when you’re talking about a significant area that has been hit.” Gov. Kathleen Sebelius visited Chapman on Thursday
