The overnight news team went out this morning to take some pix of the damage caused by Friday morning's inland hurricane.
These first photos are from Independence-MO- a motel on the northwest intersection of Noland & I-70.
Numerous businesses have roof and non-major structural damage here.
Next is an Arby's fast-food restaurant on M-291 north of Gudgell- almost totally destroyed.
This photo southwest of the Arby's damage is in a residential neighborhood. Note the street sign blown at an almost 90-degree angle. We encountered dozens of these throughout Indy.
One of hundreds of trees uprooted or severely damaged in Independence.
Next we went north- the next photos are taken in the hard-hit area of M-291 near N.E. Stark in KC-MO North.
An Aquila lineman attempts to clear debris from a power pole and restore service.
Houses off N.E. 108th Street with torn-off roofing- windows blown out and punctures in exterior walls.
Now comes Gladstone. This photo is what's left of a check-cashing establishment in the 7000 block of North Oak.
Many- many trees and large tree limbs have damaged hundreds of homes in Gladstone alone.
The last 2 photos are again in KC-MO North. This one is a carport collapsed on vehicles in an apartment complex in the 6000 block of North Jefferson.
The last photos in this series are a strip shopping center and a damaged canopy over the fuel pumps at the Quik-Trip store in the 400 block of Northwest Englewood Road.
There's no doubt going to be several thousand insurance claims in Independence and the Northland. This will probably be a multi-million-dollar storm event.
