A sudden storm hit the area Monday night, wiping out softball games. In Ravenwood, the 18 and under town softball game with Stanberry was called off as a hot and muggy day gave way to high winds. Wind gusts as high as 70 miles per hour were reported along with ping pong ball sided hail.
In Hopkins (pictured), a bunch of branches blew off a tree at a house just south of Heideman Repair at 3rd & Thompson. A basketball goal was blown across the street nearby. In Sheridan, the winds knocked down chairs at the Rural Housing and blew a branch down.
The storm moved rapidly from north to south. In St. Joseph, the News-Press reported scattered power outages knocking out over 1,000 customers. Heavy rains pelted King City and Stanberry.
