High winds down trees and cuts power across Kansas
A bow echo thunderstorm roared through Northeastern Kansas and into Missouri, with 70 to 80 mph winds. Homes and trees suffered damage while power outages affected thousands as crews from out of state aided repairs. No serious injuries were reported, though two golfers were struck by lightning and two planes were toppled by winds in the Kansas City area. Local residents described tornadic fury and widespread debris, with power restoration taking hours in Lane and nearby towns.
