Hour By Hour: News Around MetroRegion Kansas City On A Mid-Summer Weekend Night - Hour 1

Actually- call it early morning Saturday.

Thought I'd do something here I've never done blogging- give each of you a blow by blow by hour of the overnight shift.

HOUR 1 - Midnight to 1AM

Not too active in the first 30 minutes- a couple of assault calls- Independence-MO & KC-KS with minor injuries or EMS refusals by the victims.

A hit & run crash was reported at 20th Street & Broadway in KC-MO just after midnight. Witnesses reported a dark-colored SUV took off from the wreck- the other driver's injuries were non life-threatening.

Of course there were the sundry EMS calls- overdoses- cardiac and breathing issues- you name it. Police calls in all the various jurisdictions- assaults- suspicious people- license checks.

The weather started out partly cloudy and 80-degrees at midnight.

By 1am- there's lots of lightning to my north: a heavy thunderstorm has developed near and moved over the Downtown KC-MO area.

One minute after 1 am- a severe thunderstorm warning was issued by the National Weather Service for northern Jackson county Missouri.

Large hail is expected- see you after 2 am..
