According to a storm survey- meteorologists at the National Weather Service have determined it was a EF-3 tornado that passed through Gladstone and the northeastern part of KC-MO North early Friday morning.
The Independence-MO damage has been determined to be straight-line winds of just more than 80 m.p.h..
There were no tornado warnings in effect for any Metro Kansas City county when the tornado struck Gladstone and KC-MO North. The NWS offered no explanation for that on their storm survey page or anywhere else on the site that I could find.
Here are some maps of the tornado-damaged areas in the Northland- courtesy of the NWS.
Here are some NWS damage photos from the Northland where they determined that indeed this was not only a tornado but an EF3-rated twister.
