The winds were produced by a line of strong to severe thunderstorms that formed over northeastern to central Kansas and moved eastward into Metro Kansas City during the 1am hour.
The worst damage heard and obstructions to traffic have been in eastern KC-MO and Raytown.
KC-MO Fire reports a tree down on the back of a house in the 7400 block of East 51st Street. No injuries have been reported there- but a "large tree" was down on the roof and back porch of a house in that block and another tree down in the 7700 block of Sni-A-Bar.
Raytown public safety agencies reported power lines "down across Raytown Road about the 6500 block" as well as several power lines down calls in that city.
"Possible lightning strikes" on structures have been reported in Blue Springs-MO and Johnson County-KS- and the latter now has a working fire on a house in Overland Park. A tree down on a parked car was just reported in Blue Springs "on 17th Street."
Scattered showers and storms will continue throughout the K.C. Metro through dawn- but no additional severe weather is expected.
Motorists should be alert to water ponding in low spots on roadways and localized flash-flooding in the heavier showers and storms.
Likely un-weather-related is the report of a water main break at 38th Street and Broadway in KC-MO's Uptown area.
