Lee’s Summit is a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri, and considered part of the sprawling Kansas City metropolitan area.
From Assistant Chief Jim Eden of Lee’s Summit Fire Department: "When the fire department arrived in the area there were multiple grass and brush fires along the west side of a 2 ½ mile stretch of southbound I-470...
The cause of the fires is undetermined."

The watery devastation is national news; pictures abound on the internet. Heck, we were drenched with another down pour last Saturday night.
