Kansas City Storm Tree help

Storms and tornadoes caused extensive damage across the Kansas City area Monday night as a line of storms pounded the region with rain, hail and high winds.

As the worst of the storms passed, reports of damage came in from various parts of the metro and surrounding communities. Among the hardest-hit were Oak Grove, Smithville and Johnson County Executive Airport in Olathe. In some places, high winds ripped roofs and walls from buildings, tore the paint off of cars and left insulation stuck in trees and fences.

The National Weather Service said teams will survey tornado damage in those areas and in Carrollton. One neighborhood in Leawood saw many homes severely damaged.
