Severe storm blitzes Kansas high winds and widespread outages
A powerful storm system swept through Kansas Friday night into Saturday, top winds reaching 90 mph in Wichita and 110 mph near Clinton Lake. The event knocked down hundreds of poles and trees, left thousands without power, caused injuries, and disrupted towns from Emporia to Osborne and Mankato. Utility crews from Missouri aided restoration, and emergency generators supported water and waste plants.

Wildlife officials in Missouri and Kansas weigh the U.S. proposal to remove bald eagles from the endangered list and place them as threatened nationwide. Critics warn nesting numbers remain fragile while supporters hail the recovery as proof of the Endangered Species Act in action. The plan follows a 90 day comment period and official statements from Fish and Wildlife Service.
