Tree and powerline damage is heaviest in Leavenworth KS early Saturday morning.
Hail the size of golfballs- severe winds and torrential rain struck Leavenworth twice during the midnight and 1 am hours- knocking out power to a large area of that city.
Numerous trees and limbs down and a vehicle was reportedly "destroyed" in the 700 block of Osage.
Fire and police units spent hours running down reports of trees and/or limbs blocking streets and power lines down throughout the city.
In Metro KC- an estimated 70000 customers in the large Kansas City Power & Light (KCPL) areas are again without power this morning- with more outages in St. Joseph and Sedalia.
Around 2:45 a.m.- a tree reportedly fell on a house in the 6900 block of North Berkeley near Parkville- according to the Southern Platte Fire Protection District dispatcher.
No one was hurt..
Most other area rainfalls were greater than an inch- and a few water rescues were required in KC-MO in regularly flooding locations.
No injuries were reported.
Storm-related house fires were also reported in KC-KS- KC- Independence- rural Smithville and Belton MO with possible lightning strikes on structures in several other locations.
Again- no injuries were reported.
