High Winds Cause Tree Damage in Kansas City MO

A large oak tree that WAS about 50 years old came crashing down due to south winds gusting to near 50 MPH Monday morning.

This tree was in the 8600 block of Winchester in the Loma Vista area of KC-MO..

The uprooted tree took out several sections of sidewalk- a power line serving street lights- and landed on the back of a car parked in the driveway of the home there.

Winchester was blocked for a time when the tree fell about 9:30 am- but has since been cleared and re-opened.
