Just a quick post about the impressive line of thunderstorms that evolved through the overnight last night arriving in the Kansas City metro this morning. As it was approaching the metro the storms organized into several line segments capable of producing damaging winds, and it did so throughout the Kansas City Metro and off to the northeast into south-central Iowa even. Reports from the metro areas indicated widespread swaths of 60-70 mph winds with a few areas likely seeing close to 80 mph gusts given the damage. Tree damage and damage to power poles were the main reports, other loose objects such as trampolines were also seen thrown into trees. At least five tractor trailers were tipped over due to these heavy winds, and just north of the Metro on I-29 saw significant roof damage to a storage barn. Additional details on the damage may be posted if any NWS office releases any special news statement. To view each of the storm reports received in associated with this cold front from the overnight and into early this afternoon please see the link below:
