An Emergency Manager reported a tree had blown down onto a house and cars. They also reported large tree limbs being blown down and power poles downed.

The wider storm

An upper-level trough moved over western Kansas early in the morning. Correlating with a PVU maximum and left exit region of the jet aloft, plenty of dynamical support was present for strong storms to develop producing all hazards. This included a weak and brief tornado, 4 inch hail, and 85 mph winds. This manifested in a couple supercells and a small bowing MCS moving southward across SW Kansas.

Began near Wilroads Gardens (37.7200, -99.9300).
