Overview

On July 30th, a line of quickly moving storms tracked south across central Kansas. These storms strengthened as they approached far southern Kansas and produced damaging winds that caused extensive tree damage across mainly Arkansas City and Wellington. Our initial findings are a swath of 80 mph straight-line wind damage from 2 miles south of Geuda Springs to the OK / KS line. Within this swath, damage patterns suggest multiple weak touchdowns.
