The wider storm
During the afternoon of July 14, 2023 a strong storm formed in northeast Kansas and eventually transformed into a strong squall line that impacted far eastern Kansas and western Missouri. This storm left a swath of wind damage mainly through the heart of the Kansas City metro area in the form of widespread tree damage. Several structures were impacted by falling trees as the storm moved through the city, and into central Missouri. The highest reported wind gust came from western Johnson County where a personal weather station recorded 89 mph wind just west of Lenexa. Numerous wind reports, both estimated and measured were over 70 mph. At one point nearly 200,000 people across the Kansas City metro lost power. As of the next day, roughly 60,000 Kansas Citians were still without power.
Began near Bryson (38.5353, -93.4228).
