The wider storm

During the evening of June 11, a complex of thunderstorms ripped through eastern Kansas and western Missouri, including through the Kansas City Metro area. While the severe weather was fairly widespread, impacts were pretty low. There were some sporadic areas of enhanced wind where several reports of 80+ mph wind was received with wide swaths of tree destruction. No injuries were reported, but the widespread nature of the damage and magnitude of the highest wind reports made this the biggest event of the severe weather season in the area.

Began near Blue Mound (38.0900, -95.0100).
