A member of the public estimated 60 mph winds with the thunderstorm.

The wider storm

Scattered thunderstorms developed in Missouri along a backdoor cold front during the afternoon of September 15th. An unstable but weakly sheared environment with steep low-level lapse rates resulted in the potential for microbursts from these thunderstorms. A few microbursts did occur, with wind damage ranging from downed trees to a partially removed school roof.

Began near Ashland (38.7800, -92.2600).
