Wednesday morning’s storms spawned four tornadoes near Kansas City and knocked out power to tens of thousands of customers. The storms passed through Sheridan and pelted the area for three hours before passing on.
The National Weather Service reported that four tornadoes touched down that morning. An EF-2 with 115 mph max wind touched down near Buckner (MO). An EF-1 developed on the west side of Lenexa (KS), and two smaller tornadoes spawned in Miami County (KS). There were also straight-line wind gusts and large hail associated with the storm.
