Lightning cuts short prairie tour at Sandsage Bison Range
Severe weather forced suspension of a Saturday night prairie tour at Sandsage Bison Range and Wildlife Area. Area manager Tom Norman noted it was the first time rain and lightning ended a tour early. About 25 attendees heard a bison range history and plant overview before the lightning escalated. The site, managed by Kansas Wildlife and Parks since 1916, hosts 19 bison and varied flora, including sand sage brush and sunflowers, with tours resuming likely in September.

Local leaders tout community pride amid the debate.
