Hurricane-force winds damage metro area

Uh. Guys? This is Kansas City - 900 miles from the nearest salt water.

Straight-line winds; micro-bursts; and some pesky tornadoes. The hardest hit areas were in the Northland and Independence, but, thankfully, no fatalities.

And no hurricanes. I was really worried about those, here the heartland of cows-n-corn.

The local NBC affiliate has some pretty decent videos from around the storm damaged area.
