Downed trees, fallen tree limbs and snapped power lines from last night’s storm had forced the closure of 95th Street between Mission Road and Lee Boulevard in Leawood Wednesday. … A powerful line of storms barreled through the Kansas City metro early Wednesday morning, producing at least one tornado in Johnson County. At 1:25 a.m. Wednesday morning, the National Weather Service’s Kansas City field office tweeted that “radar confirmed a tornado” moving east near Leawood. Other local forecasters also preliminarily concluded later Wednesday morning that a tornado had formed in Johnson County around 95th Street in Overland Park and Leawood. According to meteorologist Julie Adolphson with the National Weather Service office in Pleasant Hill, preliminary findings are showing that the tornado was a low-end EF1 tornado.
