Thunderstorm winds blew down numerous tree limbs around Mexico and areas to the south and southeast of town.

The wider storm

A backbuilding cluster of thunderstorms near the MO/IA border slowly sagged southward during the afternoon hours on August 12th. An additional cluster of thunderstorms congealed across northeastern Kansas into north-central Missouri and merged into the backbuilding cluster. These thunderstorms developed ahead of a synoptic cold front. As these storms moved southeast across the region, some became severe and produced widespread damaging winds.

Began near Mexico (39.1800, -91.9000).
