Storms that moved out of southeastern Kansas at speeds reported by the National Weather Service (NWS) at "125 miles per hour" slammed into Metro Kansas City between 9:30 to 10 a.m. Friday morning.
There are numerous reports of trees- tree limbs and power lines down across the Metro- some damamge to roofs of homes and apartment buildings (see CSW image here) and semi-trucks overturned.
No injuries had been reported as of this post.
Although no severe weather watches were in effect for Metro K.C.- a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for most of the 5-county Metro area as the storms roared in.
Building damage is reported near the Missouri River in Parkville- "pieces of barns and (out) buildings" are blocking a Union Pacific main-line track west of Parkville- stated the Southern Platte Fire department.
CSW images shown here are tree limbs down in front of and partially on a house at 99th Street and Blue Ridge- and a part of the roof of an apartment building peeled back near 88th Street and Old Santa Fe Road- right next to the Hickman Mills High school as well as tree limb damage.
