Overview

Storms developed over central Kansas during the late afternoon hours of June 15th and rapidly became severe due to extreme instability in place. After the storms developed they tracked southeast into the evening hours, leaving a path of destructive winds and large hail across central and south central Kansas. Widespread tree damage was reported along with power outages. There were a few injuries in Hutchinson when a large tree fell on a vehicle.
